A Special POCSO Court in Arunachal Pradesh’s Yupia has sentenced a 22-year-old man to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment for ra**ng a minor deaf-mute girl in Papum Pare district in 2021.

Special Judge (POCSO) Dr Hirendra Kashyap convicted Jyoti Ram Doley under Section 6 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and imposed a fine of Rs 20,000.

According to the prosecution led by special public prosecutor Kagam Bagra, the incident took place on April 19, 2021, when the 13-year-old victim had gone to graze cattle near Gumto.

The accused allegedly followed the girl into a jungle area and sexually assaulted her.

The victim’s father later lodged an FIR at the Women Police Station in Itanagar after local residents informed the family about the incident.

During the trial, the prosecution examined 12 witnesses, including the victim, her parents, eyewitnesses, doctors, forensic experts and investigating officers.

The court observed that the victim, though unable to speak, was capable of communicating through signs and gestures and had identified the accused during her deposition before the court.

Medical examination conducted on the victim confirmed ge***al injuries suggestive of forceful pe*******on, while the forensic science laboratory (FSL) report stated that the accused could not be excluded as the source of semen detected on the victim’s innerwear.

During sentencing, the defence sought leniency, stating that the convict was the sole earning member of his family and had no prior criminal antecedents.

However, the prosecution argued that the victim, being a differently-abled minor, was highly vulnerable and required special protection under the law.

The court observed that though the case did not fall under the “rarest of rare” category warranting capital punishment, the convict was not entitled to the benefit of probation.

The court also directed the District Legal Services Authority (DLSA), Papum Pare, to provide compensation to the victim under the Arunachal Pradesh Victim Compensation Act, 2011.

A two-day biodiversity and seed festival focusing on agrobiodiversity conservation, indigenous seed systems and climate resilience will be held in Arunachal Pradesh’s Keyi Panyor district from May 28.

The Arunachal Pradesh Jaiv Vividhata & Mvm Liid Soonam/Beej Utsav 2026, along with a stakeholder consultation on biohappiness and climate resilience, will be organised at Government Higher Secondary School in Yazali on May 28 and 29.

The programme is being co-organised by the 16th Yachuli MLA Office, Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Keyi Panyor, Arunachal State Rural Livelihoods Mission (ArSRLM), and the M. S. Swaminathan Research Foundation (MSSRF), Chennai. The event is being supported by NABARD, PPVFRA, and the National Biodiversity Authority.

Organisers said the programme will bring together farmers, indigenous community leaders, policymakers, researchers, scientists, youth groups, civil society organisations and development practitioners to deliberate on biodiversity conservation, traditional ecological knowledge, sustainable livelihoods and climate adaptation.

A key focus of the consultation will be the concept of “biohappiness”, which links biodiversity conservation with community well-being, food security, cultural continuity and ecological sustainability. The framework was developed and popularised by noted agricultural scientist M S Swaminathan.

One of the major attractions of the event will be the Arunachal Seed Festival and Agrobiodiversity & Sustainable Livelihoods Exhibition, where community seed conservers, especially from the Nyishi and Apatani communities, will showcase indigenous crop varieties, traditional farming systems and biodiversity-based livelihood practices.

The programme will also feature thematic panel discussions on biodiversity conservation, revival of traditional knowledge, youth participation, climate resilience, farmer seed systems and sustainable agricultural futures in the Eastern Himalayan region.

State agriculture and allied sectors minister Gabriel D Wangsu is scheduled to inaugurate the event.

Representatives from the Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers’ Rights Authority (PPV&FRA), NABARD, Arunachal Pradesh State Biodiversity Board, Rajiv Gandhi University, ICAR institutions, along with subject experts and farmer representatives, are expected to participate.

Organisers said the consultation aims to evolve a stakeholder-driven roadmap for strengthening agrobiodiversity conservation and community-centred sustainable development in the state.

Itanagar Capital Region (ICR) Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIGP) Tumme Amo on Wednesday urged the Arunachal Pradesh Indigenous Youth Organisation (APIYO) to refrain from resorting to “random bandh calls”, saying such shutdowns cause unnecessary hardship to the public, particularly daily wage earners and small business operators.

Addressing the issue amid the ongoing debate over Inner Line Permit (ILP) regulation and indigenous rights, Amo said the police were willing to facilitate peaceful democratic protests, including dharnas and rallies, but opposed sudden bandh calls that disrupt normal life.

“You had assured me that a peaceful dharna would be held, but suddenly a bandh has been called. This is not right as it makes the public suffer,” the DIG said, appealing to the people, especially the youth, not to encourage “bandh culture”.

He said if the concerns raised by organisations are/were genuine, both the government and the police were prepared to listen and support constructive dialogue.

“If the ILP system is fully digitalised and implemented systematically, many issues relating to illegal immigrants and associated concerns can be addressed,” Amo said.

The senior police officer noted that the state government, community-based organisations (CBOs), and legal experts were already engaged in efforts to find long-term solutions to issues concerning ILP regulation and indigenous rights, making sudden calls for shutdowns counterproductive.

He reiterated that the police would readily grant no-objection certificates (NOCs) for peaceful dharnas, rallies and other lawful democratic demonstrations.

The APIYO has meanwhile announced to go ahead with its 24-hour bandh call on May 28.

The education department on Wednesday said the newly introduced Arunachal Pradesh Teacher Transfer and Posting Policy Act is aimed at addressing long-standing issues such as uneven teacher distribution, proxy teaching and lack of transparency in transfers, particularly in remote areas of the state.

Addressing a press conference here, education commissioner Amjad Tak said the policy has been framed keeping in mind the state’s difficult terrain and connectivity challenges under the government’s broader “Reach to Teach” initiative.

He said the new transfer mechanism seeks to minimise inconvenience for teachers while ensuring that schools in interior areas are adequately staffed.

At the heart of the reform is the Teacher Registry Portal (TRP), a digital database designed to streamline transfers and maintain records of teachers across the state. Tak said 16,068 teachers — around 97.4 per cent of the state’s teaching workforce — along with 107 ministerial staff, have already registered on the portal.

The TRP will maintain details including posting history, classroom performance, student results and medical records, which officials said would strengthen monitoring and help curb absenteeism and proxy teaching — issues that have often drawn criticism.

“The department now has complete data on teachers,” Tak said, indicating a stronger digital monitoring mechanism.

He informed that 2,064 intra-district transfer orders have already been issued, with over 1,000 implemented. Inter-district transfers, he said, would be preference- and point-based through the portal after completion of three years in the same school. More than 600 teachers have already applied for self-transfer.

However, the department clarified that teachers who do not voluntarily opt for transfers may still be shifted manually depending on vacancies and staffing needs, especially to maintain the prescribed 1:45 teacher-student ratio in underserved areas.

Tak also said teachers who fail to join their new postings within 15 days may face action under the provisions of the Act.

The portal is expected to become fully operational by the first week of July, while the transfer process will be rolled out in phases and become fully operational by May 15 next year.

The department also highlighted school infrastructure upgrades, including construction of over 300 teacher quarters and development of district education office infrastructure in 19 districts.

Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Wednesday said the state government has, in principle, accepted four major demands raised by stakeholders, including the long-pending proposal for creation of a separate department to manage and regulate the Inner Line Permit (ILP) system under the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation, following a marathon consultative meeting on indigenous rights and demographic concerns.

Addressing a high-level meeting at the State Banquet Hall in Niti Vihar, Khandu described the nearly seven-and-a-half-hour deliberations as “historic”, saying the discussions brought together community-based organisations, student bodies, legal experts, civil society groups, political leaders and senior government officials to address issues concerning indigenous tribal rights, demographic changes, ILP regulation and APST-related concerns.

Representatives of the Arunachal Indigenous Tribes Forum (AITF), All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union (AAPSU), ST Bachao Andolan Committee (STBAC), political parties, and officials from the Home, Law and Political departments, besides the Directorate of Indigenous Affairs, attended the meeting.

Announcing in-principle approval for the proposed ILP department, Khandu said the demand had consistently been raised by AAPSU and STBAC.

He said the government would work collectively with all stakeholders to evolve concrete and long-term solutions to safeguard indigenous identity and strengthen governance mechanisms.

The chief minister thanked the ST Bachao Andolan Committee for highlighting what he termed a “long-burning issue” that had remained unresolved despite repeated discussions over the years.

Khandu said the concerns raised in Arunachal Pradesh mirrored a larger national challenge relating to illegal immigration, demographic imbalance and threats to indigenous identity and cultural preservation.

Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Independence Day address last year, he said the Centre had already recognised demographic imbalance and illegal immigration as serious concerns with implications for law and order, indigenous culture and national security.

He also informed the gathering that Union Home Minister Amit Shah had recently constituted a national-level high-powered committee on demographic change comprising retired judicial and administrative officials, indicating the Centre’s seriousness on the issue.

Acknowledging concerns over demographic shifts and their impact on indigenous communities, Khandu said preserving Arunachal Pradesh’s unique tribal identity, traditions and cultural heritage was a shared responsibility.

He stressed the need for long-term solutions through skilling and capacity-building of local youth to reduce dependence on outside labour.

Citing Mizoram as an example, the chief minister said dignity of labour and vocational training had helped strengthen local workforce participation there.

Sharing an example, he said a group of tribal youths from Arunachal Pradesh, after undergoing specialised training in plumbing and electrical works in Bengaluru, successfully completed a project in Pasighat for Rs 10 lakh, compared to an Rs 18 lakh quote from outside contractors.

As a key outcome of the meeting, Khandu announced the formation of a high-level committee to further deliberate on the issues and recommend a roadmap.

A follow-up meeting has been scheduled for May 29 for formal constitution of the panel, with seven members each to be nominated by AITF, AAPSU and STBAC, along with representatives from the legal fraternity.

The government will officially notify the committee once members are finalised, and its recommendations will be discussed transparently before any policy decisions are taken, he said.

Reiterating the spirit of “Team Arunachal”, Khandu called on all stakeholders to work together to safeguard indigenous rights and ensure the state’s long-term stability and development.

Anti-drug activist Gumin Mize walked out of jail on ad-interim bail on Wednesday afternoon after a court in Assam’s Lakhimpur district granted him temporary relief in a criminal case, while also directing authorities to submit the case diary and his medical report before the next hearing.

The Additional Sessions Judge (FTC), Lakhimpur, granted ad-interim bail to Mize, president of Arunachal Anti-Drugs Warrior, in connection with Bihpuria Police Station Case No. 72/2026, subject to ex*****on of a bond of Rs 1 lakh and two suitable sureties of the like amount.

The court directed Mize to cooperate with the investigation, appear before the investigating officer whenever required, refrain from threatening witnesses and not engage in similar offences while out on bail.

During the hearing, the prosecution opposed the bail plea, citing the gravity and seriousness of the allegations. However, the court observed that considering the facts and circumstances of the case, ad-interim bail could be granted at this stage pending receipt of the case diary and connected records.

Mize’s counsel argued that he had been falsely implicated and also raised allegations of custodial assault.

In a significant direction, the court ordered the superintendent of district jail in Lakhimpur to ensure Mize undergoes a medical examination prior to release and submit the report before the court.

The court has also called for the case diary, injury report of the victim and related case records. The matter has been listed for further hearing on June 3, when the plea for regular bail will be considered.
