The organisations have demanded the arrest of all accused within 12 hours, suspension of the concerned police officials and a permanent resolution of jurisdictional disputes
Itanagar: An indefinite economic blockade jointly launched by the All Nyishi Students’ Union (ANSU) and the All Nyishi Youth Association (ANYA) began at 5 am on Wednesday, November 11, at Bhalukpong and Zero Point (Niechiphu) in Arunachal Pradesh’s West Kameng district.
According to an official public advisory issued on November 10, the blockade follows the state government’s alleged failure to address demands raised by the organisations over an incident dated October 24, 2026.
In their four-point charter of demands, ANSU and ANYA have sought the arrest of all accused persons within 12 hours of the notice, suspension of the concerned Investigating Officer and Sub-Divisional Police Officer pending an impartial inquiry, and protection of the rights of permanent Nyishi settlers in Bhalukpong and West Kameng under the 2012 Bomdila Declaration and 2015 Bhalukpong Declaration.
They have also demanded a permanent resolution of jurisdictional disputes, including clarification of Bhalukpong’s boundaries and claims relating to the Aka domain, in consultation with concerned stakeholders.
The advisory exempts Nyethrii-Dow festival attendees, ritual performers, traditional convoys, ambulances, emergency medical cases, fire services, military personnel and vehicles, authorised magistrates on duty, and essential services.
The organisations have advised commuters and transport operators to plan their journeys accordingly. The blockade is expected to affect vehicle movement and the transportation of goods along the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh corridor.
