Episode 34: Electric Rivers - Doyang and Nagaland

Article 371 (A) of the Indian Constitution grants the people of Nagaland autonomy over their land and natural resources. While the state is full of resources, it is rather odd that the notable infrastructure project in the State is the Doyang Hydroelectric Power Project, located on the waters of river Doyang. 

It is also ironic that during my visit, I experienced a lot of power cuts and noticed a lack of water supply in Nagaland. Why is that? Some say it is because of the moody monsoon, while some think, it could be the dam.
