Itanagar, April 20:
The All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union has issued a public advisory cautioning people against unauthorized and illegal collection of money or materials in its name. The advisory, dated April 20, 2026, follows a resolution taken during the 1st Central Executive Council Meeting of the union for the 2026–2029 session.
In the notice, AAPSU informed the general public of Arunachal Pradesh, particularly market associations, bazaar committees, and members of the business community, that any form of collection carried out by anti-social elements in the name of the union or its office bearers is strictly prohibited. The union clarified that such activities include solicitation of donations, sale of union calendars, lottery or housie tickets, distribution of gift coupons, and forced collection of items such as watches, mobile phones, laptops, electronic goods, or any other materials.
AAPSU further stated that any legitimate appeal for voluntary contributions would be undertaken only through the joint recommendation of its authorized signatories, namely the President, General Secretary, and Finance Secretary. It emphasized that strict action will be initiated against any individual or group found engaging in illegal collection drives or misusing the name of the union. The advisory also warned that anyone tarnishing the image of the organization would not be spared.
The union urged the public to report any such illegal activities directly to its authorized office bearers without delay. The advisory has been circulated to Deputy Commissioners and Superintendents of Police across all districts, along with market associations, bazaar committees, and media organizations for wider awareness and compliance.
The notice has been jointly signed by AAPSU President Meje Taku, Finance Secretary Zente Mosu, and General Secretary Mato Bui.
