Sub: Appeal to grant adequate Compensation to all stakeholders affected by the violence of the PRC Protests across the State

Your Excellency,

I write to you in an atmosphere of all pervading grief which engulfs the socio-political scenario of Arunachal Pradesh in the aftermath of the events which occurred during the protests on the PRC Issue in the twin capital cities and other parts of the State. Our Congress Party with its rank and file, is committed to help restore normalcy in the State. However, we strongly feel that the after effects of the unprovoked killings, injuries and the damages thereof will take time to die down in the larger social consciousness of our peaceful state.

It is in this regard, that we would like to place before you certain demands for the compensation of those affected by the episode, in order to bring back a semblance of recovery and resettlement in right earnest. Therefore, we would like to place before you the following compensation demands for your kind consideration, and subsequent recommendation to the State Government for timely implementation.

o Rs.2 crore each to the families of the deceased killed by Paramilitary Forces with one regular Government job to a family member.

o Rs. 50 lacs each to the ones who sustained bullet injuries.

o Rs. 5 lacs each to the ones with minor injuries.

o Full Compensation to the private individuals/establishments towards the damages of movable/immovable properties including buildings, commercial establishments, vehicles etc.

o Full Compensation to the Artists who came to perform on Statehood Day towards damages of their equipments, instruments and other high value accessories.

o Withdrawal of all pending cases booked against the individuals and groups involved in the PRC protests in the twin capitals and other parts of the State.

o Declaration of Martyr’s Day for the victims of the PRC protests and allocation of adequate land for a Memorial.

We place this for favour of your kind consideration and necessary actions thereof, in the greater interests of ushering in peace and amity in our State.

With best regards,

Yours sincerely,

(Takam Sanjoy)

Arunachal Pradesh Congress Committee
