APSHRC Calls for Infrastructure and Flood Control in Chakma-Hajong Settlements
The Arunachal Pradesh State Human Rights Commission (APSHRC) has urged urgent infrastructure upgrades and flood-control measures in the Chakma and Hajong settlement areas of Changlang district. Following a June field visit, the commission highlighted poor road connectivity—especially the 33-km Namsai-Diyun stretch—and recurring floods from the Dihing River as key challenges affecting economic activity, security logistics, and resident displacement. APSHRC emphasized that these interventions are vital to maintain settlement boundaries and protect the demographic interests of indigenous tribes while supporting local development.
