TL;DR Summary

India's push for 24/7 clean energy from dams has upended the lives of Indigenous communities, altered natural water systems, and led to deadly landslides. Farmers have turned into activists fighting against more dams, with thousands protesting last August after a fatal landslide in the district. India aims to increase its electricity output from dams to 70,000 megawatts by 2030, but recent disasters have resulted in "question marks" over the focus on dams as a way of ensuring round-the-clock clean power.
