The Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC) has raised an
environmental issue on a proposed 775-MW Luhri project on the Sutlej river in
upper Shimla of Himachal Pradesh. In order to issue the environmental
clearance, the EAC has advised the project developer to redesign the project to
600 MW as the proposed scheme would dry up almost a 50-km stretch of the river
affecting the lives of people living downstream.
