Summary
Protesters against the proposed 11,200-megawatt Siang Upper Multipurpose Project in Pasighat, East Siang district, Arunachal Pradesh, set fire to an NHPC office and a police station and vandalized the residences of political leaders including the state BJP chief. The violence erupted after a 12-hour strike organized by groups opposing the hydroelectric project. According to the Pasighat Deputy Superintendent of Police, protesters hurled stones at police. A total of 41 people were injured during the unrest. Nine police vehicles were also damaged. The central government subsequently deployed around 250 Rapid Action Force personnel to the state, and prohibitory orders were imposed in affected areas.
