Assam-Arunachal road blockade lifted following CMs's intervention
After the tragic murders of two young men from Assam in Arunachal Pradesh, Mising organizations blocked seven major border roads to demand justice.
The blockade caused disruptions, with vehicles affected and trade impacted between the states.
On July 15, following a call between both Chief Ministers and assurances of swift action, the blockade was lifted.
Trials are being fast-tracked, compensation is underway
Prabash Doley (22) was killed in Itanagar on June 18 after a dispute, and Shankar Pegu (29) was shot by his employer on July 13 in Lower Dibang Valley.
Both accused are now in custody and facing charges.
Police say these were individual crimes—not ethnic violence—and have promised better protection for Assam workers in Arunachal Pradesh.
Trials are being fast-tracked, compensation is underway for victims' families, and Mising groups say they'll keep watching to make sure justice is served.
