Itanagar, Dec 27: Itanagar, the capital of Arunachal Pradesh, wore a deserted look on Tuesday morning as the All Nyishi Students Union (ANSU) called for a 12-hour bandh over non-fulfilment of its demands in the ongoing CBI enquiry on Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) Question paper leakage scam in State Service Commission.
The APPSC question paper leaked during the written examination for the post of assistant engineer (civil) conducted by APPSC on August 26 and 27, 2022. The APPSC Assistant Engineer paper leakage came to light on August 9, 2022, after written information was received by the police from one Gyamar Padang, a candidate of the APPSC AE examination, claiming that he suspected that the question paper had been leaked.
ANSU announced the 12-hour ICR bandh on December 27 from 5am to 5pm following the failure of the state government to address 13-point charters of demand in connection to the APPSC question paper leakage scam.
Home Minister of Arunachal Bamang Felix has urged ANSU to withdraw bandh but union is adamant in its demand.
It may be mentioned that the Arunachal police on December 5 had arrested APPSC deputy secretary-cum-deputy controller of examination Taket Jerang (53); AE exam candidate Thomas Gaduk (26); Jeju Institute teacher Akhilesh Yadav; head assistant and father of Thomas Gaduk, Tanyang Gaduk (57); GPS Tarak Pangin; junior teacher Tama Saroh (53); and courier runner Dilip Saha and three others.
