Public Hearing is an imposition on the will of people: Idu Society
Orgs threaten indefinite bandh
ITANAGAR, Oct 24: In a letter to the Member Secretary, Expert Appraisal Committee for the River Valley Projects, Ministry of Environment & Forests, Idu Mishmi Cultural And Literary Society, the Apex body of the Idus have called for postponement of the Public Hearing scheduled for the Dibang Multipurpose Project that have been notified for Oct 28 and 31. Any notification of Public Hearing is an imposition on the will of our people, the representation said. The Society further informed about Oct 5 firing which left ten young people injured and which has led to tense situation in the district.
“If the administration does not postpone the Hearings, we are afraid that the situation may go out of control. We have requested the DCs of the districts to cancel the Hearings but they are yet to respond” said the letter signed by the General Secretary Tone Mickrow.
Because of the prevailing situation in the district and questionable action of the DC and SP, people here are in no mood for a Public Hearing, it said while adding that the situation, is very tense, and the people have realized now that both the newly appointed DC and SP, on transfer from Goa, were brought in to Lower Dibang Valley, primarily to see that the Public Hearings for NHPC’s Dibang Multipurpose Project take place by hook or by crook and NHPC is an accomplice here, it said.
The Public Hearings for Dibang Multipurpose Project have been postponed for 10 times in the last three years since both the A P Pollution Control Board and the NHPC were not able to convince the people in favour of the project. But, we are pained to see that the will and sentiment of the people of Dibang Valley has been completely ignored while notifying the Public Hearings, it said in the representation.
It said that repeated representations to the EAC have been sent to the centre as majority of the people of Dibang Valley and Lower Dibang Valley are against the project.
The Idu Mishmis, especially the youth and students are now being terrorized in to submitting forcibly in favour of the project by the district administration, the DC, the SP and for a small mountainous area large police force, Special Forces, CRPF etc have been mobilized during the last few months to shut us up and break our resistance, said the letter sent by IMCLS.
A month back, the DC and the SP gave a statement that Maoists are masquerading in
Dibang Valley as anti-
On the other hand, after calling the 12 hours bandh in Meka circle on Sunday to protest against 3000 MW Dibang Multipurpose Project, the Downstream Anti Dam Committee (DSADC) is now threatening to launch indefinite bandh.
Serving an ultimatum to Roing deputy commissioner, the committee said, “We want to intimate the government of Arunachal Pradesh that it should call off the proposed public hearing scheduled on October 28 and 31 within three days starting October 26.”
It threatened to launch indefinite bandh if the demand was not met. The 12 hours
Sunday bandh in Meka circle went peacefully, though traffic along Roing-
The anti dam movement in downstream areas of Lower Dibang Valley is now joined by Adi Cultural and Literary Society (ACLS). ACLS Chairperson and ex MLA Bassu Perme in a letter to Roing DC has objected to construction of ‘mega dams’ on Dibang River.
ACLS has alleged that DC Roing is interested only in Dibang dam unmindful of the concerns of the people. Instead she has created fear psychosis by mentioning ULFA and Maoist involvements in anti dam movements, the society said.
3000 MW Dibang project
In a separate letter to the Chief Secretary Idu Mishmi Cultural and Literary Society (IMCLS) has appealed the state Govt to postpone the proposed public hearing on 3000 MW Dibang multipurpose project (DMP) till the completion of enquiry process on Oct 5 Roing firing incident.
Demanding intervention of the chief secretary for postponement of the public hearing, the Society in its letter said the people are in the midst of public consultation and the Roing firing incident derailed the whole process of consultation on the project.
Moreover, the dates of enquiry on Roing incident scheduled to begin from 26th and the public hearing are overlapping while people are eager to give more concentration on enquiry process, the Society said.
Centre’s indecision a mockery of democracy: BJP
ITANAGAR, Oct 24: BJP in a letter to the Prime Minister of India has called for immediately resolving the political crisis in the state. It further said that if political crisis is not resolved, why Art.356 (1) should not be invoked in Arunachal Pradesh till normalcy returns keeping the state Assembly in abeyance and under suspended animation.
Indecisiveness to resolve the prevailing leadership crisis is anti-
Since the new government took over after the demise of Late Chief Minister Dorjee Khandu, internal feuds and infighting has became rampant in the ruling party which has caused lawlessness and lack of governance. The prevailing situation has become such that no single developmental projects/schemes files are being processed or cleared which can not be overlooked, he added.
People of Arunachal Pradesh should not suffer and deprived of the developmental activities in the state and essential commodities it said while adding that medicines, PDS items are not reaching the border areas and there is no restoration of monsoon damaged roads and other communications, the party stated.
Arunachal needs a stable and transparent government with a great dreams and hope people of Arunachal Pradesh has given mandate to Congress Party, the letter read.

Don’t deprive the unemployed
Dear Editor,
This is response against the article "affected people demand scrapping of Lower Siang project". I agree with your valuable thoughts but can the members assure our future. Always remember your problem is with JAPL not the local employees who are working for their daily living. As a graduate and unemployed of Siang, I want to know who are those members to decide for our life. Please make sure that before writing such words think thousand times. I urge them to come up with bigger thoughts.

What will the police do?
Dear Editor,
The anguish of policemen as ventilated recently in your esteemed daily seems genuine and very palpable.
It is very easy to criticize the security forces but difficult to understand their
hardship and contribution. As a civilian who has keenly watched the recent incidents
of violence in different parts of the composite state; I am impelled to acknowledge
the circumstances under which they are discharging their duty. Given the large-
With some organisations regularly resorting to unconstitutional means to express their grievances and dictating in every step, forces are having a tough time to control the situation.
All sections of the society should cultivate the values of universal brotherhood, lawfulness and look beyond ones' community or organisation in order to uphold social harmony. First of all, we are human beings, then Indians, then Arunachalees and then members of this or that tribe. May God save the younger generation and common people from misguidance.

Development and Siang
Dear Editor,
As a child of Siang, I have heard and seen lots of ups and downs of Siang district. How long we the people of Siang will deprive ourselves from development and shall we tell our grandchildren that we have stopped the development to protect you.
My question is to the well educated leaders of anti dam; are they really working for the benefits of people or they are doing for their own name, fame and gain.
So let us grow with bigger thoughts for better future of Siang.

Sorry if deprived you a chance
Dear Editor,
Nyishi Elite Society (NES), Nyishi Welfare Association (NWA), Nyishi Bachao Association (NBA), Nyishi Nyem Acham (NNA), Nyishi Consultative Committee (NCC), All Nyishi student Union (ANSU), All Nyishi Youth Association (ANYA), All Nyishi Youth Organisation (ANYO), All Nyishi Educated Youth Forum (ANEYF), All Nyishi Nyizir Yapa Association (ANNYA), All Nyishi Youth Volunteer Federation (ANYVF).
All these are the Nyishi based association I have seen in your daily. Being from the community, I am surprised to see all those nomenclature. I am really disappointed. What was the need to form so many organisations and associations?
In my childhood my teacher used to tell me "sharing is loving" and ''united we stand, divided we fall" but I think my elders never came across those lines.
Which one of these are the real guardians of my society? In recent times we have seen many untoward incidents. Can your matured mind think of staying united under single organization?
Sorry if I have not listed all the association or unions thereby depriving those organizations a chance of publicity.

Shortage of gas cylinders
Dear Editor,
I would like to bring the attention of all concerned through you that there is crisis of LPG cylinders at Marina Gas Agency Itanagar. The agency is issuing coupon for refilling of the LPG cylinders but they are not able to provide the cylinders on time. People are made to wait in long queue with the paid coupons but suddenly they will tell the waiting consumers that the stock is exhausted and to come the next day. This is going on for the last week. So people have to come early to be ahead in the line for that day but still many dont get the cylinders.
So, why is the management issuing coupon and collecting the money when they can't provide the LPG cylinders?
It is sorry to state that LPG cylinders are easily available in black market in exorbitant prices. Who is responsible? So, I would like to request the management of Marina Gas Agency, Itanagar to look into people’s difficulties and resolve the matter at the earliest.

The ‘Old man’ and Hindi
Dear Editor,
This is in response to an article published in your esteemed daily in Reader’s forum
on October 22 under the heading “Advani is a flag-
Every Arunachalee know that there is no common language in the State so far. Hindi which is also the National Language is the common spoken language, and English is the Official used language in Aruanchal Pradesh. We also know that Hindi language is prominently used in the more number of States in the country. Arunachal Pradesh is surviving with the Centre’s Grants and has to deal with most of the States where Hindi becomes necessary and unavoidable.
Yes, the Constitution has given the Right to every citizen of India can visit and stay in any part of the country. The visit of leader of L.K. Advani’s stature to different parts of the country always remains the wishes and demand of the people. The people of Aruanchal Pradesh rather feels the visit of Advani was reassuring at the peak hour of Panic and disturbed situation in the State especially in Capital Complex, consequent upon factional feuds and steep rivalries in the ruling Congress leading to ugliest ever face of violence’s in the State. The massive response to the Jana Chetna Yatra Rally at Naharlagun on Oct 20 was an event of confidence building measure for the Public.
The writer of the article needs to know about Advani and his contribution to the
nation and the democracy of the Land before making a mockery by calling him as “old

Keeping, maintaining, preserving and protecting our homes is our own responsibility, and thus blaming the loss of our rich tribal culture and tradition in the State on the visit of Advaniji is unbecoming.
