ROING, Nov 20: The Dibang Valley Students’ Union (DVSU) and the All Idu Mishmi Students’ Union (AIMSU) have made a 12-hour bandh call at Dibang Valley district on November 24 after the district administration failed to take disciplinary action against the three government officials involved in the illegal confinement and serving of alcohol to three minor girls at their official quarter at Anini.

They threatened to continue their agitation for an indefinite period of time, if the concern offices fail to take necessary action on the matter.
Reportedly, the three officials are yet to return to Anini for further proceedings.
