Riot-Control Forces Airlifted to Arunachal Pradesh Amid Violent Protests

Arunachal Pradesh Police deployed two Rapid Action Force companies from Navi Mumbai to Pasighat following anti-dam protests that turned violent on October 23.

Authorities reported that 34 companies of Central Armed Police Forces are deployed in the Siang region, where NHPC's office and police vehicles were set ablaze and 21 people were arrested.

Tension also spread to Upper Subansiri district as a 12-hour bandh called by the Tagin Students' Union against a proposed hydroelectric project led to vehicles being set on fire.
