ITANAGAR, Aug 9: The Nyishi Ethnic Students of Arunachal Pradesh (NESA) has demanded the arrest of all the people involved in the Trans-Arunachal Highway (TAH) scam.

Addressing a executive meeting in NESA head office  here on Thursday at Jollang, Biri Chattum said the people of the state have lost confidence on the investigation carried out by Special Investigation Cell, and demanded an inquiry by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

“The genuine land-affected people of the area have been cheated, and therefore people are demanding the arrest of all the officers and leaders involved in the scam. The people of the area are not satisfied with the present investigation process, as only a few people have been arrested, and that, too, not in the case of the TAH from Potin to Bopi but from Joram to Koloraing. NESA demands that all should be arrested at the earliest,” said Chattum.

Referring to an affidavit in which a transaction of Rs 3 crore was reflected, he questioned how such a huge sum of money was available with a government officer. He also demanded to know how people who do not have any plot of land on the RoW received crores of rupees as land compensation.
The NESA demanded recovery of all the fake bills issued, and said the bills should be deposited to the account of the government exchequer. It also called for early start of the tender and other processes, so that work on the highway begins at an early date.

Spokesperson of NESA ,Mr. Byabang Noah Dui  informed that NESA  would join Trans-Arunachal Highway compensation deprived forum to impose a second phase of Yachuli constituency  36-hour bandh on August 14-15 and blockade of the Ziro-Kimin road from August 21 to 23 in the second and third phase, respectively, if its demand is not met.
