Tweak to green nod OK’d, work set to start on Teesta project destroyed in 2023 flash floods

An expert panel from the environment ministry has conditionally approved the amendment of the green clearance for Sikkim’s 1,200 MW Teesta Hydroelectric Project Stage-III. The revised plan includes redesigning the dam for enhanced resilience, following its destruction by flash floods linked to a glacial lake outburst in October 2023.
