LIKABALI, Apr 19:In a joint public meeting at Likabali Circuit House by the people of Likabali Assembly Constituency and Nari-Koyu Assembly Constituency, the members demanded that in the public hearing on matters of Lower Siang- as and when it happens under the newly constituted Group of Ministers (GoM), no outsiders should be allowed or entertained other than people of Koyu and Kora Circles.

In the meeting held under the aegis of District Demand Joint Action Committee (DDJAC) and chaired by ex-ZPM Tagi Zirdo, the members while noting that in the given circumstances wherein claims and counter claims on territorial ownership of the Koyu and Kora Circles have been made by both the Adis and the Galos; unanimously agreed that the vexed issue of territorial ownership and the further decision to merge with the new district of Lower Siang or to remain under East Siang should be left to the local residents (both Adi and Galos) of the two circles.

Also in the meeting, the house while authorising the DDJAC to spearhead the ongoing Lower Siang District movement in co-ordination with other organisation involved, resolved to defer the proposed indefinite bandh call made by the Lower Siang Bandh call Committee for 2 weeks. Here, the house while setting the timeframe till May 3next for the government to heed to their demand for immediate posting of a Deputy Commissioner and a Superintendent of Police in Likabali so as to formalise the functioning of the Lower Siang District, further resolved that the indefinite bandh call would be initiated rigorously from May 4 next in both the constituencies in case of any failure from the government to meet their demands.

Further in the meeting, the members present resolved to request Nari-Koyu legislator Kento Rina to lead the delegates to meet the GoM on April 22 next.

Later, it was also resolved by the members to form a women wing of the DDJAC and accordingly, Nari ASM Yalom Sora and Dipa ASM Reyum Basar were entrusted with the responsibility to initiate further actions in this regard.
