Clashes During Bandh Against Siang Dam Project in Arunachal Pradesh Injure Several
A 12-hour bandh against the proposed 11,200 MW Siang Upper Multipurpose Project in Arunachal Pradesh led to clashes between protesters and police, resulting in injuries to at least four or five women due to tear gas. Protesters, mainly from Geku and Komkar areas, demanded the release of 10 detained activists and withdrawal of security forces. Violence included vandalism of police vehicles and an NHPC office. Authorities cited stone-pelting and attempts to breach barricades, while protesters called for an independent inquiry into police actions. The bandh disrupted normal life across Siang, Upper Siang, and East Siang districts.
