ITANAGAR, Apr 13: The All Arunachal Pradesh Abotani Students Union (AAPATSU) today claimed that the state government has created a separate department under the name, ‘Department of Tawang and West Kameng’ without any discussion in the state assembly and further notification to the public.
Addressing a press conference at press club today, AAPATSU president Langpu Apon Maru stated "We fail to understand the reason behind the creation of two separate departments. The two districts already have enough developmental funds under the Department of Karmik & Adhyatmik Affairs (DoKAA)."
The union while demanding the revocation of the order on creation of the two departments as of the opinion that the motive behind the creation of such a department is to set forth corruption by diverting developmental funds.
AAPATSU general secretary, Henka Basar said that the union further seeks creation of department of Abotani Traditions & Culture Affairs and immediate creation of teaching staff posts for third language of the Abotani Community of the state.
Basar said that the department of Abotani Traditions & Culture Affairs is of paramount importance to preserve, protect and promote age old rich tradition, culture and heritage of the Tani community.
Meanwhile,AAPATSU IPR secretary Janu Tatin while demanding to  restart the ‘Janta Darbar’ stated it was the only programme which brought the Chief Minister and his cabinet ministers to a single table, so, that public grievances could be heard and accordingly addressed face to face.
“Due to the discontinuation of Janata Darbar, the public is confused with whom to place their concerns. As many times their concerns are not heard and reacted by the higher authorities,” he said adding that, even the Sarkar Aapke Dwar (SAD) campaign which aims to address the grievances of the common man has been discontinued.
Tatin also alleged that the Chief Minister Office (CMO) is only reserved for the people of Mukto constituency, thereby not allowing the people from other constituencies to visit Chief Minister Pema Khandu.
Earlier, the union also submitted a memorandum to the CM demanding the same.
