Summary

Protesters in Arunachal Pradesh clashed with police during demonstrations against the proposed 11,200-megawatt Siang Upper Multipurpose Project in Pasighat. According to a police official, protesters hurled stones at police. The violence resulted in approximately 40 police personnel injured. Protesters set fire to an NHPC office and a police station, vandalized homes of political leaders including the state BJP president, and damaged police vehicles. The unrest followed a 12-hour strike organized by local groups opposing the hydropower project. Police used tear gas to disperse crowds. In response, authorities imposed restrictions on public assemblies in affected areas. The central government deployed two companies of the CRPF's Rapid Action Force, comprising around 250 personnel, to contain the situation. Chief Minister Pema Khandu appealed for peace and dialogue.
