Adi Community Group Seeks Judicial Probe into Arunachal Police Action During SUMP Protest
The Adi Baane Kebang United (ABKU), representing Arunachal Pradesh's Adi community, has called for a judicial inquiry into police actions during an October 23 protest against the Siang Upper Multipurpose Project (SUMP) in Pasighat. ABKU alleges security forces used tear gas and stun grenades against peaceful protesters, causing injuries and subsequent unrest. The group has given the state government 14 days to act against involved police personnel and the magistrate, warning of a democratic movement if demands are unmet. The protests followed opposition to the SUMP's Pre-Feasibility Report and included shutdowns in multiple districts.
