Two bordering districts of Arunachal Pradesh -- Tirap and Changlang -- are bearing the brunt of illegal activities of the two factions of the Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagalim that are in truce with the government of India within Nagaland.
The All Arunachal Pradesh Students Union has expressed anguish over the activities of the NSCN factions -- NSCN-IM and NSCN-K -- in the two districts having border with Myanmar where the Naga rebels have their bases.
The AAPSU has lamented the failure of Arunachal Pradesh government in curbing illegal activities of the NSCN rebels which, it said, should not have any business within the territory of Arunachal Pradesh.
The tension that was simmering in the two Arunachal Pradesh district because of presence and actions of NSCN rebels manifested into an outburst from the AAPSU in the wake of alleged abduction of 39 students from six villages of Tirap district last month by the NSCN-K militants and the students have remained untraced till date.
The AAPSU on Tuesday set a ten-day deadline for Arunachal Pradesh government to rescue the abducted students from the clutches of the NSCN-K, which has chosen to keep mum over the entire episode.
