Arunachal Groups Demand Review of 80:20 Job Reservation Amid Government Committee Meeting
The Arunachal Frontier Tribal Front (AFTF) announced a peaceful march on August 8 demanding the scrapping of the 80:20 job reservation ratio, criticizing the state government for delays and inaction. The government formed a high-power committee on July 6 to review the policy, with its first meeting scheduled for August 10. The committee's chairman, Minister Nyato Dukam, faced criticism from the All Arunachal Pradesh Students' Union (AAPSU) over remarks about potential legal challenges to changing the reservation system. Both groups continue to press for changes.
