The Bogong Banggo Kébang (BBK) of Pasighat and allied organisations have reiterated their demand for a transparent policy to protect public land and assets in the Pasighat urban area. The organisations are seeking to prevent encroachments on premises of educational institutions and ensure accountability in land dealings.
A rally was organised at Gidi Notko in Pasighat on Wednesday to press their demand. The event was jointly organised by the BBK, Bogong Banggo Land Action Committee (BBLAC), Bogong Banggo Yameng Kébang Youth Wing, and All-Bogong Students’ Union (ABSU).
Community leaders, including BBK president Basalung Jamoh and general secretary Onong Perme, addressed the rally. They alleged indiscriminate land allotment in the Pasighat urban area during 2024-25 and demanded that the district administration cross-verify all land allotment proposals settled during that period.
The organisations also demanded that the district administration take prompt action to remove all encroachments within the government-notified area in Pasighat town. They further sought the inclusion of representatives of the BBK and BBLAC in the District Land Allotment Committee to ensure transparency and fairness in future land dealings.
A representation was submitted to the East Siang district administration, giving them seven days to formulate an effective land protection policy. The organisations are seeking a clear and constructive roadmap for local administrative reform.
The move is aimed at protecting public land and assets in Pasighat and ensuring that the rights of the local community are safeguarded.
