The Indian Air Force (IAF) has deployed the Rapid Action Force (RAF) in Arunachal Pradesh to address ongoing unrest related to the State of Arunachal Pradesh Multipurpose Project (SUMP).

The deployment of the RAF comes as tensions escalate in Arunachal Pradesh over the SUMP project. The project, which aims to develop hydroelectric power, has faced strong opposition from local communities who cite environmental concerns and displacement risks. The RAF is a specialized force trained to handle civil unrest and crowd control situations. Their presence aims to restore order and ensure the safety of both project workers and local residents. The situation remains tense, and authorities are closely monitoring developments.
