The Changlang district administration is reported to have re-submitted a proposal suggesting Miao as the headquarters for the proposed new district, Rima. The proposed district would include Miao, Bordumsa, Diyun, Kharsang, Vijaynagar, and Namphai-I – all of which are currently part of Changlang.<\/p>\n
While the proposal for the creation of a new district is said to be for administrative purposes, there are underlying concerns. The air of discontentment arises from the absence of recent consultations with the public. There is a perception that, without involving the population, the administration is rushing the decision, despite previous calls for a separate district, with attempts made in 2011 and 2017.<\/p>\n
However, there is fear that this move has the potential to diminish the influence of tribal populations, as many areas are inhabited by non-tribal populations. Such fears are not unfounded, as Bordumsa, Diyun, and Vijaynagar have more non-Arunachal Pradesh Scheduled Tribe populations than indigenous ones.<\/p>\n
Apart from being a resource-rich district, the region is also faced with several social issues. Therefore, the administration should be cautious in its decision-making. It should also initiate thorough discussions with the communities involved to ensure there is no misunderstanding or fear in anyone’s mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
