ANSU Enforces 12-Hour Bandh in Itanagar Over Education Demands
A 12-hour bandh called by the All Nyishi Students' Union (ANSU) disrupted normal life in Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh, over unmet education-related demands including improvements in 56 schools and establishment of special needs facilities. Despite the Itanagar Capital Region administration declaring the bandh unlawful, ANSU proceeded after unsuccessful talks with state officials. The shutdown affected commercial activities and traffic, though emergency services operated normally. Police maintained order, escorting essential personnel and preventing major incidents during the largely peaceful protest.
