Itanagar: Villagers in Mepsoro are pushing back against a massive new military project. The Indian Army wants to build a 1,200-acre Field Ammunition Depot within the Toru Circle of Papum Pare district. This plan has sparked fear among locals in Mepsoro and surrounding settlements regarding land loss and public safety.
The community is demanding total transparency. They want specific details on how the Army plans to keep neighboring homes safe from potential accidents. Residents have urged authorities to hear their objections and address their concerns before proceeding with further steps.
A joint land survey for the site was set for November 10, 2026. This meeting was slated to include the Deputy Commissioner, Army brass, district officials, police, and local leaders. Villagers want a seat at the table before any final decisions are made on the land.
