Summary

Violent protests erupted in Arunachal Pradesh, particularly in Pasighat, against the proposed 11,200 MW Siang Upper Multipurpose Project. Demonstrators clashed with police, set fire to a police station and NHPC office, damaged nine police vehicles, and ransacked homes of elected representatives. Approximately 40 police personnel were injured. The central government deployed around 250 Rapid Action Force personnel to the region. Local indigenous groups oppose the project citing concerns over displacement of up to 1.5 lakh residents, flooding of 27 villages, loss of agricultural and heritage land, and environmental damage to the Siang River. Officials stated the project is in an initial feasibility study phase, while residents contend that allowing surveys to proceed threatens to advance a project they reject. The Chief Minister called for dialogue rather than violence.
