The Dibang Valley district administration in Arunachal Pradesh has introduced a strict prohibition on roadside camping, cooking, picnicking, and related gatherings along national and state highways in the district. This immediate ban aims to curb traffic congestion, prevent public nuisances, reduce littering, and lower the risk of road accidents caused by such activities.
District Magistrate Bekir Nyorak issued the prohibitory order under Section 152 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), directing strict enforcement to ensure smooth vehicle movement and uphold public safety. The Superintendent of Police, Dibang Valley, has been tasked with implementing the directive rigorously, with violators facing strict legal action under relevant laws.
Dibang Valley, known for its breathtaking natural beauty, rugged terrain, and growing appeal among adventure tourists and nature enthusiasts, has seen an uptick in roadside stops for leisure activities. However, these practices have increasingly disrupted highway traffic and created safety hazards, prompting the administration to promote more responsible tourism practices.
The move is expected to encourage visitors to use designated camping sites, eco-tourism spots, or approved accommodations instead of impromptu roadside setups. While the ban focuses on highways within the district—including key routes connecting areas like Anini and Roing—it underscores broader efforts to balance tourism growth with infrastructure safety and environmental cleanliness in Arunachal’s remote regions.
Tourists planning trips to Dibang Valley are advised to check for designated picnic or camping areas and comply with local guidelines to enjoy the region’s pristine landscapes responsibly.
