People appealed to Chief Minister Pema Khandu to devise a step to end the kidnappings and extortion in the TCL region.

Helplessness

the matter is not only concerning the Wacho tribes, but all the tribes of the three districts and the council, along with the rest of the tribes, will always thrive on resolving the matter. The government should take quick action to save these tribes. Because this community suffers a lot due to their native land, the people are very much attached to their native land. Maybe this is the reason they feel detached from another community. They rarely appeal to the government. And this time, they are appealing because they are helpless.
Meanwhile, the Wancho Council vice-president Gangsong Gangsa said that the public, along with student unions and community-based organizations, has been raising their voices against the atrocities of underground elements for decades and will continue to do so in the future too. The government is doing there best to help this community, but these tribals are not satisfied with the government’s initiative. still seeking help from the government as they are helpless, no other option left to them
