There was no report of any violence from anywhere in Arunachal Pradesh on Monday even as the indefinite curfew imposed in Itanagar and Naharlagun and the suspension of internet services remained in force, police said.

Arunachal Pradesh witnessed massive violence for three days from Friday over the Joint High Power Committee (JHPC) recommendation granting permanent resident certificates (PRC) to six communities who are not natives of the state but have been living in Namsai and Changlang districts for decades.

Arunachal Pradesh Chief Secretary Satya Gopal issued a statement on Sunday, saying: "Considering the present situation pertaining to grant of PRCs to non-APST (Arunachal Pradesh Scheduled Tribes) of Namsai and Changlang districts, the state government has decided that no further action will be taken in grant of PRCs."
