Staff Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n ITANAGAR, 19 Jun:<\/strong> Angry with the Border Roads Organization (BRO) for showing Kimin ADC headquarters as ‘Billgarh’ in Assam during Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s inauguration of the Kimin-Potin road on Friday, the All Kimin Youth Welfare Association (AKYWA) staged a protest against the BRO in Kimin on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n The AKYWA burned tyres outside the BRTF office in Kimin, demanding an explanation from the BRO over the covering up of Arunachal’s name with a white paste in pictures of the inaugural ceremony.<\/p>\n The BRO stated that it was done “because of strategic reasons,” apparently in order to forestall a reaction from China over the defence minister’s inauguration of the strategic road.<\/p>\n It was reported that Arunachal’s name was covered with white paste on all the signboards of the BRO and the ITBP.<\/p>\n The AKYWA termed the incident an insult to Arunachal as well as Kimin. The youths also demanded immediate shifting of the BRO\/BRTF office from Kimin.<\/p>\n The Papum Pare district administration had to deploy security personnel around the BRTF office.<\/p>\n After the inauguration of the Kimin-Potin road, the raksha mantri office’s official Twitter handle explicitly mentioned Kimin as being in Assam. The whitewashing of Arunachal’s name and the defence minister’s tweet have created a fresh boundary row.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Staff Reporter ITANAGAR, 19 Jun: Angry with the Border Roads Organization (BRO) for showing Kimin ADC headquarters as ‘Billgarh’ in Assam during Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s inauguration of the Kimin-Potin road on Friday, the All Kimin Youth Welfare Association (AKYWA) staged a protest against the BRO in Kimin on Saturday morning.
