Farmers oppose LSHEP public hearing
ITANAGAR, Dec 11: The East Siang District Farmers’ Union (ESDFU) strongly opposed
the hearing on 2700mw Lower Siang Hydro Electric Project proposed to be held on December
20,21 and 22 at Jeying, Pangin and Aalo town for non-
According to ESDFU, an expert Appraisal Committee (EAC) was formed following an order from the Union Ministry of Environment and Forest to study the downstream impact assessment report for the 2700mw LSHEP. As such the EAC suggested Jaypee Arunachal Power Limited (JAPL) and issued the term of reference (ToR) for studying the downstream impact assessment report with the flow of river Siang upto the confluence of Brahmaputro by taking three seasonal cycles. The ToR was issued on August three and meant to study the impacts and flow of the water for atleast three seasonal cycles. But JAPL in a hurried way just to fulfill the public hearing, came out with the report in the month of October 2010, just after two months, whereas the research work and the report should have come out in the month of September 2011, ESDFU said.
Further, JAPL in the same downstream impact assessment report, has intentionally avoided to enlist the names of some of the villages in the left bank of Mebo circle, namely Mher, Gadum and Ralling. But all these villages come under Mebo circle and are settled on the bank of river Siang.
ESDFU also reacted sharply to some negative remarks on Adi people in the same downstream impact assessment report. It said that the JAPL, in the same impact assessment report, has intentionally insulted the Adi tribes, particularly Adi women. Infact, Adi tribes have been living in a democratic set up of society even before India attained independence, governed by the famous ‘Kebang’ system which has been praised worldwide, ESDFU said and described the remark as very unfortunate.
"A private company, who tries to invade our Adi land and forests and displace and distort our culture, belief, practices and tradition shall never be welcomed in our Adi land," it added.

ITANAGAR, Dec 11: True to its commitments the Voluntary online coordination service of the Arunachal Pradesh Patient Welfare Committee Vellore (APPWCV) has been extending its helping hands to the Arunachalee patients for better treatment at CMC Vellore.
Citing an example of voluntary service of the APPWCV, Arunachal Pradesh Common Cause Society (APCCS) president T K Tagru informed that his daughter got completed all required tests at Vellore CMC within 13 days by the prompt online service of the committee. She is now recuperating from successful ear and nose operation at the Hospital, he further informed.
The APCCS showered all praises to APPWCV president Dr Moji Jini and general secretary Lodum Dullam for their noble idea for benefit of needy patients.
The Society also lauded the present Govt, particularly Health and Family Welfare Minister Tanga Byaling for taking initiative for construction of Guest house near CMC Vellore for the benefit of Arunachalee patients.
It may be mentioned here that APPWCV was formed in view of the rising number of cases in the state requiring advanced multi specialty treatment, majority cases of which are being referred to CMC Vellore. Around 50% of referral cases of the state Govt have been undergoing treatment at Vellore, but no parallel infrastructure is available at Vellore to facilitate accommodation and other liaising necessities required by the patients and their escorts. Therefore, the voluntary forum was formed to work towards setting up of an adequate Medical Guest House at CMC Vellore at par with other north eastern states like Mizoram, Nagaland and also Sikkim.
