As per ABKYW, on the evening of 17th July, Okom Yosung, Secretary General, Adi Baane Kebang (the apex body of Adi society) had issued an order to the ABKYW to co-operate, guide and monitor the search operations. He strongly asserted that though the deceased were from neighboring Assam, it was the moral responsibility of ABK and ABKYW to help them at this hour in recovering the dead bodies, because as a local it is easier for us to do the search operation, said ABKYW East Siang team.
