ITANAGAR, Apr 9:The All Arunachal Pradesh Border Students Union has submitted a representation to the Chief Secretary requesting his intervention in immediate creation of pending 3rd batch of Arunachal Armed Police Battalion (AAPBn).

It claimed that already administrative reform has been cleared by the cabinet during late Dorjee Khandu’s reign vide an order –HNM (A) 78/2010/1279 in 2012 and placed for financial implication but still it is yet to get approval.

Asserting that the present armed police force is not sufficient to manage the increasing law and order problems especially in border areas, it also claimed that since after creation of first and second batch AAPBn in the year 1988 and 1989 no posts were created nor has the government initiated further steps to raise its strength.

It also informed that the personnel appointed during first and second batch of AAPBN recruitment are mostly posted at Papum Pare and West Siang districts while ignoring those disputed border areas where they are needed most or recruited for.

Later the union also suggested the CS to deploy AAPBN personnel to guard the lives and properties of people living in the interstate boundaries instead of using them for the protection of officers, VIPs and their properties.
