Four protesters detained over the proposed 11,200-MW Siang Upper Multipurpose Project in Arunachal Pradesh were released from Jully Central Jail near Itanagar after nearly a month. Detained on October 9 under the Arunachal Pradesh Unlawful Activities Act, their release followed the state government's goodwill gesture responding to demands by the Siang Indigenous Farmers' Forum. The government also approved reinstatement of suspended local leaders linked to the protests.
