ITANAGAR, July 20: The Adi Students Union (AdiSU) and Adi Bane Kebang- Youth Wing (ABKYW) in its joint representation submitted to the Chief Minister has served 15 days ultimatum to the state government to address their demands for inclusion of Korang circle under East Siang district, failing which the unions threatened to call series of democratic movements.    
The union further demanded for the introduction of a New Amendment Bill in the Arunachal Pradesh (District Re-organization Amendment Act, 2013) to restore Korang Circle within East Siang District and to scrap the "Status Quo" on Korang Circle and continuation of the same as an administrative circle of East Siang District.
The unions in a press statement said that they have been approaching the state government since 2013 to respect the sentiments of the Adi traditional boundary between East Siang and Lower Siang districts.
“However, despite several of representations submitted to the Chief Ministers Office, the union is shattered by the lackadaisical attitude of the state government in addressing the Korang Circle issue under East Siang District,” the unions stated. While the unions appreciate the historic decision of the state government for the creation of Lower Siang District, since most of the other areas included in the new district truly deserve an independent district for their future development.

It also termed that the state government has failed in delivering  justice to the Korang Circle populace by subsiding the neutral Dharmendra Sharma Committee Reports and  Suggestions.
The union also claimed that the state government didn't consult the residents of East Siang district before including part of it into the new district of Lower Siang.
