	==~~Environment issue and project disapproval~~==		==History==
	The foundation stone for the dam was laid on 31 January 2008 by Prime Minister [[Manmohan Singh]]. Construction on the project, however, has yet to begin. In 2013, the [[Ministry of Environment and Forests (India)\|Ministry of Environment and Forests]] rejected the project's application but [[NHPC Limited]] resubmitted it in 2014. The dam has also been under intense local and international opposition to its tentative negative environmental impacts and forced relocations of Idu Mishmi tribal peoples.<ref>{{cite web \| url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1140421/jsp/northeast/story_18261953.jsp#.U3lUhvldWSo \| title=Fresh shot at Dibang dam \| publisher=The Telegraph - India \| date=21 April 2014 \| accessdate=18 May 2014}}</ref>		The foundation stone for the dam was laid on 31 January 2008 by Prime Minister [[Manmohan Singh]].
