The state govt of both Arunachal Pradesh and Assam should resolve the boundary dispute between both state amicably, which is pending in the Supreme court of India, said Youth leader from Doimukh Constituency Nabam Vivek.

Vivek alongwith local leaders, GBs and others of the area today visited the Nyokum ground and other damaged property of Kakoi carried out by the Assam forest officials on March 17 and meet the local people there and discussed the matter and appeal them to maintain peace.

Talking to media, Vivek said that it is saddened to see that such eviction drive are being carried by the officials of Forest department and Assam Police time and again and destroyed property of the local resident and others in the territory of Arunachal Pradesh in the name of boundary dispute which is very unfortunate.

Terming the Assam as big brother of the North East region and sharing boundary with Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya and Nagaland and there is dispute with all neighboring states  is not good. Elder brother should not fight for the land and property with the younger brother is not at all justified again and again, rather they need to resolve the issue of land and property after a proper sitting and round table discussion. He said.

Nyokum ground is a festival ground of Nyishi tribe which is one of the biggest tribe of state. the Nyishi people celebrated the biggest festival ‘ Nyokum’ there and dismantling the property of the celebration ground unlike Temple, Namghar, mosque, church and others has hurt our sentiment and emotion for which either the Assam government or the Forest department of Assam should apologies the Nyishi tribe of the state. Vivek said.
