The private construction firm responsible for a section of the Trans-Arunachal Highway has categorically rejected allegations linking its personnel or security staff to a violent incident near a project site in the state.
In an official statement released on March 14, 2026, the company described the claims — which surfaced after a local resident reported being assaulted by unidentified individuals near the ongoing highway works — as “completely baseless, malicious, and aimed at tarnishing the company’s reputation.”
Key points from the company’s rebuttal:
- No employee, contractor, or security personnel deployed by the firm was involved in any altercation or assault.
- The company maintains strict protocols for site security and community engagement, including regular coordination with local administration and police.
- All personnel undergo background verification and are instructed to follow a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of confrontation with locals.
- The firm has cooperated fully with the ongoing police investigation and has offered to provide CCTV footage, attendance records, and staff movement logs from the relevant date and time.
- It urged authorities to conduct a thorough and impartial probe to identify the real perpetrators and protect innocent parties from false accusations.
The incident reportedly took place in a remote stretch of the highway project in one of Arunachal’s eastern districts, where tensions occasionally arise over land compensation, employment opportunities, or environmental concerns linked to large infrastructure works. Local police have registered a case and are examining statements from both the complainant and witnesses.
The company emphasized that it remains committed to timely project completion while ensuring harmonious relations with nearby communities. It appealed to all stakeholders to refrain from spreading unverified narratives that could hamper development efforts in the region.
The matter continues to be under active investigation by local law enforcement, with no arrests reported so far.
