Itanagar: The 12-hour Itanagar Capital Region (ICR) bandh called by the All Nyishi Students’ Union (ANSU) passed off peacefully on Tuesday.
The ANSU had declared the first phase of its 12-hour ICR bandh on December 27 following the “failure of the state government to address the 13-point charter of demands”.
The demands are in connection with the Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) question paper leak scam.
The paper leak in the assistant engineer (civil) examination, conducted by the Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC), came to light after a candidate filed a police complaint. More than 400 candidates appeared for the examination held on August 26 and 27.
In October, the state government handed over the case to CBI.
The ANSU had on December 3 submitted a memorandum to Chief Minister Pema Khandu, placing its 13-point demands in connection with the question paper leak case.
