MIAO, Aug 28: All Yobin Students’ Union(AYSU) and All Arunachal Pradesh Anti-Corruption Students’ Union (AAPACSU) jointly organized a protest rally here demanding immediate deletion of the names of Non-APSTs who are availing rights under Panchayati Raj in Vijoynagar in Changlang district.
Hundreds of members of both unions and civil society holding placards, banners resorted to sloganeering against the state government.
Speaking on the occasion, AYSU President Ngwazosa Yobin informed that the demands are not new, as they have been fighting for the same issue since 2017. “We have repeatedly submitted memorandums to the authority, but till date there is no action from the government,” he lamented. AAPACSU President Tana Ganesh Tara said that although they had submitted memorandums to the state government as well as the local authority of Miao, there appeals have gone unheeded.
The protest is a fallout of such negligence, despite the expiry of our latest memorandum, he said adding that the protest will not stop but continue.
Meanwhile, ADC Miao, T Rumi clarified with protesters that he has no authority to issue deletion notice and urged the members to submit their representation to the District Electoral Officer or the higher authority.
