A proposed hydropower project on the Kulsi River is facing opposition from local residents.
About Kulsi River:
It is a south-bank tributary of the Brahmaputra River.
Course:
It is composed of three rivers, namely Khri, Krishniya, and Umsiri, all of which originate from the West Khasi hill ranges of Meghalaya.
The river is known as Khri in the upper catchments, and after being joined by two other tributaries, namely Krishniya and Umsiri, within the Khasi hills in Meghalaya, it flows northwest and enters Assam at Ukium.
After that it flows north up to Kulsi village through the plains of the Kamrup District of Assam.
Finally, it outflows into the Brahmaputra near Nagarbera.
It is considered one of the last refuges of the endangered Gangetic dolphin (Platanista gangetica gangetica) in Assam.
