Centre's interlocutor R N Ravi has met a delegation of All Arunachal Pradesh Students' Union (AAPSU) and promised the state's interest will not be compromised during the time of executing final draft of the Naga Peace Accord between the Centre and NSCN (IM), the student body said in a statement today.
A delegation of the apex students' body of the state led by its President Kamta Lapung and General Secretary Biru Nasi met Ravi in New Delhi yesterday and asked him not to compromise the territorial integrity of the state while executing the final draft of the Naga peace accord with NSCN (IM), the AAPSU statement said.

As of now the Centre is yet to make any decision concerning Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur, the statement quoted Ravi as saying.
He added that before the final draft of the accord was made, he would consult not only the government of Arunachal Pradesh but also with the concerned stake holders including civil societies and student bodies of the state, the statement further said.
Lapung had requested Ravi to take into consideration the demands of the union before the final accord which should ensure the safety and security of the people of Arunachal Pradesh, particularly in insurgency-hit Tirap, Changlang and Longding districts.

The other members of the delegation included Spokesperson Tanya Agu, Deputy Speaker Arjun Dodum and Joint Secretary Marto Boje, the release added.
