The rallyists marched through Nungba town, which they said would be affected by the proposed dam, and submitted a memorandum to the state chief minister through the sub divisional officer of Nungba yesterday.
The dam is proposed to be built at the tri-junction of Manipur, Mizoram and Assam.
The memorandum claimed the dam would have serious effect on the ecology, environment, flora and fauna as well as the identity of the indigenous people living in Tipaimukh and surrounding areas.
Official sources said India and Bangladesh had discussed the construction of the dam which supposedly would solve the flood problem caused by Barak river in Cachar district of Assam and parts of Bangladesh.
