AAPSU Heads to Taksing Amid Incursion Concerns
ITANAGAR, Aug 13:
The All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union (AAPSU) on Thursday flagged off its “Taksing Chalo, Bharat Bachao” yatra, with a team led by General Secretary Mato Bui heading towards Taksing in Upper Subansiri district.
AAPSU President Meje Taku flagged off the team at the NEFA Club, AAPSU office, before handing over the Indian National Flag to Mato Bui for hoisting at Taksing on August 15, 2026.
The AAPSU flag was also handed over to team members, who will hoist it at Taksing alongside the national flag on Independence Day.
The two-day visit comes amid concerns over reports of an alleged Chinese incursion near the India-China border in the Taksing area.
During the visit, the AAPSU team is expected to meet local stakeholders and residents and convey a message of national unity and solidarity with people living in the frontier region.
The planned Independence Day flag hoisting is being seen as a symbolic expression of India’s sovereignty and AAPSU’s solidarity with residents of the strategically important border area.
The yatra carries the slogans “Taksing Chalo, Bharat Bachao” and “Seema Majboot, Bharat Surakshit,” highlighting AAPSU’s call for stronger and more secure border areas.
The initiative also aims to draw attention to the need for better infrastructure, connectivity and development in Arunachal Pradesh’s remote frontier regions.
