The statewide protest will see the closure of outpatient departments, elective surgeries, and non-essential services in both public and private healthcare facilities across Arunachal Pradesh.

The trouble began around 11 PM when students of RG Kar Medical College were holding a peaceful ‘Reclaim the Night’ protest march, led primarily by women.

The act of vandalism occurred during overnight protests by women in various areas of the state in response to the alleged rape and murder of the doctor in the hospital's seminar hall.
