Arunachal Pradesh Committee Plans Protest Over Alleged Rs 277-Crore Fisheries Scam Investigation Delay
A Joint Action Committee (JAC) in Arunachal Pradesh has announced a peaceful protest in Itanagar on July 6, citing alleged inaction in investigating a Rs 277-crore Fisheries Department scam involving fictitious projects and ghost ponds. The committee claims the government has not initiated a timely inquiry despite submitting evidence and issuing ultimatums. While some officials, including MLA Pani Taram, have dismissed the allegations as politically motivated, the JAC insists the campaign seeks accountability and a transparent probe into the misuse of public funds.
