Protest by Arunachal students

New Delhi: Over 100 activists of a prominent students body from Arunachal Pradesh were detained on Wednesday when they tried to stage a protest outside the Chinese embassy here against China’s claim over the state and demanded better infrastructure and fencing along the border.

“We are very angry at the Chinese claim. That is why we have come all the way from Arunachal Pradesh to protest it,” general secretary of the All Arunachal Pradesh Students Union (AAPSU) Toujum Poyum said.

The activists, protesting against China’s claim over the state and the reported construction of a dam across the Brahmaputra river, said the Centre’s response to China’s aggressive posturing towards the state was “lukewarm”.

The AAPSU also criticised the Centre for lack of roads and airports in the “strategically important state” and said it must have matching infrastructure .
