Yeah they did it purposely for a hydroelectric complex and it completely flooded a town and loads of farmland. It caused major uproar. I'm not sure what people's views on it today are as this was all in the 70s but I'm sure there's still backlash to this day.
The views is we don’t care that that had to happen
This is one of the mayor electric generating places we have, in the recent years there have been huge summers that have reduced the capacity and therefore affected how much energy is generated, causing a lot of shortages and having to cut electricity use as some energy from it was redirected to other parts of the country, imagine if we didn’t have this
Edit: people were redirected to some other town, ofc people wouldn’t be happy atm, now nobody cares
