Local leaders, politicians, and spiritual figures from four districts have united against the Kaligandaki–Tinau Diversion Project, calling it a threat to the sacred Kaligandaki River and local heritage. The Rs180 billion plan aims to generate power and irrigate farmland by diverting 80% of the river’s winter flow. Critics warn it would devastate ecosystems, displace communities, and harm spiritual traditions. Despite Supreme Court clearance, locals vow peaceful resistance through awareness campaigns and symbolic marches.
