A CORRESPONDENT

ITANAGAR: The All Nyishi Students' Union (ANSU) has deferred the 36-hour Itanagar Capital Region (ICR) bandh, which was proposed on December 6 following a written assurance from Chief Minister's Office (CMO) to resolve their issues.

Addressing the media at the press club here on Monday, ANSU president Nabam Dodum said the decision to defer the bandh was unanimous and was decided in an executive meeting held at ANSU office on Monday.

Dodum said that Chief Minister Pema Khandu had assured to resolve the two-point demands of the union in a meeting which is scheduled on December 13. He said the union received a letter from the CMO on Sunday where the Chief Minister requested the union to defer the proposed bandh.

"However, if the demands of the union are not fulfilled after the meeting, the union will resume its 36-hour bandh with further notification from the union," he added.

Earlier, in a letter to the ANSU, CMO has stated that the Chief Minister was keen to resolve the issues of the union. However, due to pre-committed meetings and pre-scheduled district tours, the Chief Minister will be engaged till December 12. Therefore, the Chief Minister will hold a meeting with the central executive members of the union on December 13 at the State civil secretariat. Further, it also stated that the bandh culturewas not healthy for the development of the State.
