 One of the injured school children at the Roing hospital.

Personnel of the special task force (STF) and Central Reserve Police
Force (CRPF) shot at and injured nine students, including a girl,
during the Durga Puja celebration in Roing town of Arunachal Pradesh
on Wednesday. The injured were rushed to Roing Hospital where the
condition of all was said to be critical. Most of the injured were
rushed to Dibrugarh hospital later that night.

The forces first entered the puja premises and roughed up the
students. Later, the youngsters were chased around Roing Bazaar and
fired at. Subsequently, jawans from the STF, CRPF and also India
Reserve Battalion (IRB) led by Superintendent of Police Veenu Bansal
forcefully tried to enter the hospital premises, threatening to take
away the injured along with them.

They were stopped at the hospital entrance by students, leading to an
altercation. The jawans then fired in the air and threatened to enter
the hospital by force. Only after the team was convinced that the
injured were in a critical condition, Bansal and his men turned back.

The town has remained shut since then, following an indefinite bandh
called by the All-Idu Mishmi Students Union (AIMSU) and the Idu Mishmi
Cultural and Literary Society (IMCLS). The two organisations are
demanding suspension of Bansal and Deputy Commissioner Garima Gupta.
They are also demanding a judicial inquiry into the incident.

The authorities here have been trying to thwart those protesting
against the Dibang dam under the pretext of tackling Maoists who are
alleged to be active in the area. The community-based organisations
have described these reports as planted stories, meant only to
mobilise additional troops for a forceful conduct of the forthcoming
public hearing on the dam project. The public hearing on the 3000 MW
Dibang Multipurpose Project will be held in Roing on October 31.

The new Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh, Jarbom Gamlin, who held
the power portfolio in the earlier Dorjee Khandu Cabinet, has gone on
record saying that the “power projects will stay, come what may.”
Gamlin surely means to stick to his words. Or guns, if you may.

*The UID project i**s going to do almost exactly the same thing which the
predecessors of Hitler did, else how is it that Germany always had the lists
of Jewish names even prior to the arrival of the Nazis? The Nazis got these
lists with the help of IBM which was in the 'census' business that included
racial census that entailed not only count the Jews but also identifying
them. At the United States Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC, there is an
exhibit of an IBM Hollerith D-11 card sorting machine that was responsible
for organising the census of 1933 that first identified the Jews.*
