All Nyishi Students’ Union (ANSU) Calls for 36-Hour Arunachal Bandh from Monday

The bandh has been called as the Arunachal government failed to fulfil their demands, ANSU President Nabam Dodum said today

The All Nyishi Students’ Union (ANSU) has confirmed their 36-hour bandh starting from August 12.

“The bandh has been called as the Arunachal government failed to fulfil our demands”, ANSU President Nabam Dodum said today.

“We held two meetings with MLAs representing the Nyishi community in the Assembly but nothing came out of the meetings. The State Government is yet to meet our demands so we are going ahead with the bandh,” Dodum said.

The key demands of ANSU include:

The immediate repeal of the Arunachal Pradesh District Based Entrepreneur and Professional (Incentive Development and Promotion) Act, 2015.

Revamping and reintegrating the decaying schools across the state.

The immediate suspension and reversion of Lham Tashi, OSD to the Chief Minister, and the suspension of Kirli Padu, SP APPS (former CSLO), and Moyir Basar Kamdak, APPS (former Deputy Superintendent of Police cum SSO), for their alleged involvement in a conspiracy to frame members of the ANSU.

Earlier, ANSU had put forward a ten-point charter of demands, which was later reduced to three key points. However, ANSU President Nabam Dodum stated that since the government has failed to address these three points, all ten original demands now need to be fulfilled.

Meanwhile, Chief Minister Khandu, speaking to reporters on Friday, stated that most of ANSU’s demands have been fulfilled. He added that discussions with stakeholders regarding the repeal of the Arunachal Pradesh District Based Entrepreneur and Professional (Incentive Development and Promotion) Act, 2015 will take place in the coming days.
