China is considering a plan to build a thousand-kilometer long tunnel to divert the stream of Brahmaputra river. If this dam is built then it will be the longest damaged in the world.

According to the Times of India report, China wants to turn the stream of Brahmaputra from Tibet to its Xinjiang province. China's Xinjiang Province lacks water. In China, the Brahmaputra river is called Yarlong Sangpo. This river coming from Tibet falls through the northeast of India and falls in the Bay of Bengal in Bangladesh.

If China makes these tunnels, then there will be a change in the flow of Brahmaputra, which will result in water crisis in many areas.

According to the Times of India report, due to the construction of the tunnel, the water of the river will be deposited in large quantities, which could increase the possibility of flood.

According to the news published in the Chinese newspaper China Morning Post, the plan to build a tunnel on the path of Brahmaputra was given to high level officials who would have to give their opinion till March 2018.

This tunnel can also damage the ecology of Tibet and Northeast India. These tunnels will also make China very expensive.

According to a report published in the Chinese newspaper, a Chinese expert has estimated that this tunnel will cost $ 150 crore per kilometer. That is, about $ 150 billion will be spent to build the full tunnel.

Responding to the concern expressed by India in the past, China had assured that it was not making any dams in Tibet on Zhangmu.

China had said that it is only building a hydroelectric project, which will not affect the river water going to India. If China makes these tunnels, then obviously its impact is on the river stream.
