The demand for the protesting student unions is to speed up the disbursement of compensation to the families affected by the construction of the Dibang Multipurpose Project.

The long delay in the disbursement of the compensation is being highly resented by the protestors, and now they have declared that they will yield only if it is given to them in writing about the disbursement of compensation to the affected families.
