In Arunachal Pradesh's Upper Siang district, protests and a 36-hour bandh against the Siang Upper Multipurpose Project (SUMP) prompted the administration to restrict mobile internet use. The bandh, called by Siang Indigenous Farmers Forum and others, demanded the release of anti-mega dam activists arrested after violent incidents in Pasighat, including arson and vandalism. Police arrested several protesters linked to the violence.
