A 12‑hour strike shut down Daporijo after residents protested delays in the Subansiri Bridge project.
A 12‑hour bandh was called in Daporijo, Arunachal Pradesh, after local residents expressed frustration over delays in the Subansiri Bridge construction. The strike, organized by a regional political group, halted traffic on the main road and temporarily closed the town’s market.
Police were deployed to maintain order, but no injuries were reported. The bandh ended after negotiations between the protestors and local authorities, who promised a revised timeline for the bridge’s completion.
The Subansiri Bridge, a critical link for the region, has faced multiple setbacks, affecting connectivity for nearby villages. Local officials said the delay was due to supply chain issues and funding approvals.
Residents hope the new schedule will expedite the project and improve transport links across the state.
