Civil bodies opposing illegal immigration in Arunachal Pradesh have announced their decision to go ahead with the first Phase of a 12-hour Itanagar Bandh on December 9, from 5:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Three organizations including the Arunachal Pradesh Indigenous Youth Organization, the All Naharlagun Youth Organization and Indigenous Youth Force of Arunachal have announced the Capital Bandh (Itanagar).
APIYO President Taro Sonam Liyak said that their issues have been raised since 6 October, but no action has been taken by the government.
They added that a meeting promised by the government on December 5 but it did not take place. Earlier a bandh planned for November 25 was postponed due to festivals & sports events.
According to the groups, their demands were submitted to several government offices, including the Chief Minister’s Office, but no response has been received. They emphasized that this is not only an APIYO bandh but a public and indigenous bandh call, and they appealed for support from the public, transport unions, and business communities.
The organizations have listed concerns including the removal of illegal construction of religious places, action against unauthorized settlements, and closure of the daily market.
