Supporters of Local dam protesters argue that the law must protect local communities' consent and land rights before dam projects proceed, maintaining that unresolved legal claims justify halting construction.
Supporters of Local dam protesters argue that the projects lack free, prior, and informed consent from affected communities, and they maintain that legal safeguards for local land and livelihood rights must be enforced before construction proceeds.

Supporters of the hydroelectric projects argue that dams are a continuation of India's postwar development tradition, casting them as symbols of national progress and energy self-sufficiency for the region.
Supporters of the hydroelectric projects argue that Arunachal Pradesh’s long history of harnessing its rivers for power reflects a broader cultural tradition of development and self-reliance in the region.
Supporters of Hydroelectric project proponents counter that dam projects can fund cultural preservation, arguing that electrification and revenue have historically helped rural communities sustain traditions rather than erase them.
Supporters of the hydroelectric projects argue that legally sanctioned environmental clearances and permits obligate the state to proceed, and that rule-of-law compliance—not protest—should determine project outcomes.
Supporters of the hydroelectric projects argue that legally sanctioned approvals and the state's energy-development authority should prevail over local protest, maintaining that lawful process, not violence, must settle disputes.
Supporters of Hydroelectric project proponents counter that statutory permitting processes already incorporate community consultation and land claims, so unresolved objections do not automatically void a lawfully issued permit.
Supporters of the hydroelectric projects argue that Arunachal Pradesh's power potential serves India's strategic energy interests, and they maintain that state authority, not local protest, must decide such projects.
Supporters of the hydroelectric projects argue that Arunachal Pradesh's energy potential serves India's strategic interest, and that a firm state response to protest violence protects the credibility needed to deliver it.
Supporters of Hydroelectric project proponents counter that disruption invites forcible clearance, not bargaining: the state answers rising costs with policing, and once protest is framed as violence, the project proceeds without consultation at all.

Hydroelectric project proponents counter that voluntary, negotiated relocation with fair compensation honors residents' autonomy and consent, unlike coercive mandates; they argue respecting choice, not imposing outcomes, is the true moral duty.
Supporters of the hydroelectric project proponents argue that stewardship of creation includes responsible use of natural resources, maintaining that the dams serve the common good by supplying power to communities.
Supporters of the hydroelectric project proponents argue that stewardship of creation, a duty held in faith, favors responsible development of water resources for the region's energy needs.
Supporters of Hydroelectric project proponents counter that scripture calls humanity to exercise dominion and till the earth, so harnessing a river for power fulfills rather than betrays the duty of stewardship.
