Arunachal Pradesh media organizations have raised concerns over restricted news coverage regarding the Upper Siang project, demanding greater transparency and access.
The Upper Siang project, a key development initiative in Arunachal Pradesh, has come under scrutiny by local media bodies after reports of restricted news coverage emerged.
Arunachal media organizations expressed alarm that information about the project’s progress and funding was being tightly controlled, limiting the public’s ability to stay informed.
The bodies called on state authorities to provide clearer guidelines and open access to project details, arguing that transparency is essential for accountability.
Government officials have yet to respond publicly, but the media’s stance highlights growing demands for openness in state‑run development programmes.
