Violence followed move to defer polls
A tribal group demanding the cancellation of electoral rights to non-indigenous people, mostly former Assam Rifles personnel, set several government offices on fire at Vijaynagar in Arunachal Pradesh’s Changlang district on Friday.
The arson followed the decision of the State Election Commission to defer the panchayat elections in areas under Vijaynagar Circle citing law and order issues. The rural polls are scheduled for December 22.
The district police said a large number of people led by Yobin (tribe) Students’ Union swooped down on Vijaynagar at around 8:30 am and burnt down the offices of the extra assistant commissioner, Special Branch of the State police and the post office.
