The decision was taken at a meeting held on Sunday in Geku in the presence of villagers. The forum suggested holding the meeting after 11 October. Its spokesperson Tagori Mize said the forum would hold internal deliberations from 4 to 11 October on the project and the proposed PFR survey before arriving at a collective stand. The Siang Upper Multipurpose Project is at the Pre-Feasibility Report stage.
Invited meeting:
5 October, Pasighat
Date suggested by SIFF:

Why it matters for exams: SIFF is the grassroots body of the Adi-led opposition on the Siang; knowing who the parties are helps with questions on the project.
