Arunachal Pradesh-based anti-dam activist Aborman Anbo has made a public reappearance following the sudden disappearance of his Facebook account. The incident has drawn attention to the digital challenges faced by activists in the region who rely on social media for their advocacy work.
In a statement addressing the situation, Anbo emphasized that while the platform was taken from him, his ability to speak out on environmental and developmental issues remains unaffected.
