While claiming that the creation of the office of DDSE, Capital Complex by previous government was completely politically motivated and wastage of State exchequer, the unions demanded for immediate abolition of DDSE Capital Complex, Itanagar in the larger interest of the State.

However, unions said that the senior teachers, who are on the verge of retirement, should be given relaxation and should not be transferred to remote schools of Papum Pare district in recognition of their selfless service towards the State.

Meanwhile, lamenting on the fact that that even after repeated reminders to the government no action has been initiated till date.

 The unions threatened to launch democratic movement against the department concerned and State government if they fail to fulfill their demands by May 3 next.
