A candlelight march was held in Dumporijo, Upper Subansiri district, on Saturday, demanding justice for Toter Gamkak, also known as Paksok, who was allegedly murdered by her former husband on July 6 in Aalo, West Siang district. The march was organised by several community-based organisations, student bodies, intellectuals, and social organisations, who called upon law enforcement authorities to expedite the investigation and bring the accused to justice. The participants demanded that the culprit be punished strictly in accordance with the law, stressing that crimes against women must not go unpunished.
The organisations also appealed to the government and investigating agencies to conduct a fair and speedy investigation, ensuring that justice is delivered without delay. The protest march was led by the Topo Welfare Society and witnessed participation from various organisations, including the Tator Welfare Society, Kara Welfare Society, Heche Welfare Society, Lodu Welfare Society, Galo Youth Organisation, Bogum Society, Galo Welfare Society, and Upper Subansiri District Galo Students’ Union, along with people from different walks of life.
