The Congress leader stated there is a “quite dangerous” artificial lake that has come into existence on the Yarlung Tsangpo river in Tibet, just above the Indian state. “This is a massive lake, where it’d not be improper, it’d not be an exaggeration, to call it a potential water bomb. Right below it, is Arunachal’s Siang river basin, a huge basin.
“The slightest crack, fissure (or) wilful sabotage would inundate & flood the overall Siang basin to the nice misery of Arunachal, the nice misery of the common person of Arunachal.”

Singhvi also slammed the govt for not being able to manage the existing golden relationships with Nepal, that is clearly within the malafide influence of China, & has, in its bidding, said regions like Kalapani, Lipulekh & Limpiyadhura & also featured them on its own domestic map.
“Nepal is trying to construct the balance portion of what’s referred to as the Darchula-Tinkar Road, & they’ve entrusted the work (5) to the Nepalese Troops… that takes the roads apparently right to the junction of India(In) & China. Nepal has never finished this before, somewhere there is a massive failure of your diplomacy,” he stated.
