PRC row: Arunachal govt relents amid violence, says won't raise issue again

The agitators had been demanding permanent resolution to the PRC issue

Giving in to public pressure, Arunachal Pradesh government on Monday froze its decision on the controversial permanent residence certificate (PRC) that triggered widespread violence for a third day, leading to the torching of the Deputy Chief Minister's house. Chief Minister Pema Khandu appealed to the protestors that their emand had already been accepted by govt on February 22.

PRC issue is closed. I request them not to hold protests and dharna and cooperate with government, urged CM Khandu.

I would like to assure the people in Arunachal Pradesh that government will not take up the matter even in future. This
