Arunachal Protests Continue Over Siang Dam Project Amid Calls for Dialogue and Releases
Protests against Arunachal Pradesh's proposed 11,200-MW Siang Upper Multipurpose Project (SUMP) have led to arrests, deployment of security forces, and suspension of local officials. The Arunachal Congress demands the release of detainees, withdrawal of cases, and transparency on a Rs 350-crore development package linked to the project. Protest groups have rejected government talks until these demands are met. The state government, led by Chief Minister Pema Khandu, has invited dialogue amid ongoing tensions and disruptions in affected districts.
