What happened
The Arunachal Pradesh Cabinet, chaired by Pema Khandu, approved a Rs 7,834-crore package on July 17, 2026, which included reforms in governance, education, and infrastructure. This package allocated funds for state road and power programs. Later, Pema Khandu met with indigenous groups regarding a 11,200 MW hydropower project in the Siang region, where the Siang Indigenous Farmers' Forum Youth Wing called for a boycott until demands for compensation and FIR withdrawals were met.
Why it matters
The approval of the Rs 7,834-crore package signals significant government investment into improving connectivity and public services in Arunachal Pradesh. However, opposition to major projects, such as the hydropower initiative in the East Siang district, introduces regulatory uncertainty and potential delays to key energy infrastructure planning.
Heavy rainfall and flash floods recently hit Arunachal Pradesh, prompting directives from the state government in Assam.
