Correspondent<\/strong><\/p>\n PASIGHAT, 19 Oct:<\/strong> The 12-hour bandh over the Korang circle issue, imposed by the Adi Students’ Union (AdiSU) and the youth wing of the Adi Ba:ne Kebang (ABK), affected normal life in East Siang district on Tuesday.<\/p>\n The bandh supporters blocked the national highway at the Ruksin gate, stopping the movement of vehicles. Many Arunachal-bound buses and goods trucks remained stranded there. Barring medical and other vehicles engaged in emergency and essential services, no vehicles were seen plying during the bandh hours.<\/p>\n Shops, petrol pumps, banks and other commercial establishments remained closed throughout<\/p>\n \u00a0the day, and there was thin attendance in all government offices in the district. However, no bandh-related untoward incident has been reported so far from anywhere.<\/p>\n The bandh was imposed in protest against the government’s alleged inaction in resolving the boundary dispute with the newly created Lower Siang district.<\/p>\n The AdiSU and the ABK’s youth wing are demanding “continuation of Korang circle under the administrative jurisdiction of East Siang district, introduction of a fresh bill for amendment of the Arunachal Pradesh District Reorganization Act, 2013, and restoration of Korang circle in East Siang.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Correspondent PASIGHAT, 19 Oct: The 12-hour bandh over the Korang circle issue, imposed by the Adi Students’ Union (AdiSU) and the youth wing of the Adi Ba:ne Kebang (ABK), affected normal life in East Siang district on Tuesday.
