East Siang District Administration in Arunachal Bans Illegal Donations and Fund Collections 

ITANAGAR: The Deputy Commissioner of East Siang District, Tayi Taggu, has issued a strict order prohibiting the collection of money in the form of donations, lottery tickets, housie games, or gift coupons from government establishments within the district. 

Reports of unions, groups, and associations illegally extracting money from heads of government offices and departments in the district prompted the order, dated December 5, 2024.

The administration underscored that such practices not only violate the law but also foster an environment of extortion and fear among government officials and staff. Terming it a public nuisance, the Deputy Commissioner emphasized that these activities disrupt the functioning of offices and create undue pressure on officials.

Exercising powers under Section 152 of the BNSS (erstwhile Section 133 of the CrPC), Taggu explicitly banned all forms of unauthorized monetary collections from government establishments across East Siang District. Under the provisions of Sections 257 and 308 of the BNSS, violators will face strict action.

The Deputy Commissioner has also directed administrative officers and police officials, including ADCs of Ruksin and Mebo, Circle Officers of Oyan-Sille, Yagrung, Bilat, and Kora, as well as OCs of Pasighat, Mebo, Ruksin, and Sille-Oyan police stations, to ensure the effective enforcement of the order throughout the district.

This decisive step aims to safeguard government officials from harassment and ensure a professional and fear-free working environment.
