The All Sagalee Students’ Union (ASSU) has called a 24-hour bandh in Sagalee in Arunachal Pradesh’s Papum Pare district, demanding immediate action on several issues affecting the constituency.
The students’ body has raised concerns over health and education, as well as administration, infrastructure, land protection, banking and environmental conservation. It has also sought better utilisation of existing infrastructure and government facilities and measures to strengthen essential public services.
ASSU said the bandh aimed to draw the authorities’ attention to residents’ grievances and press for timely action on the issues.
Ahead of the bandh, the Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) of Sagalee and local police urged the union to defer or withdraw the strike in the public interest.
The bandh is expected to disrupt normal movement and public services in Sagalee. Commuters travelling between Itanagar and Seppa and Pakke Kessang have been advised to take alternative routes as the protest remains in effect.
