Earlier on the day, the chief minister convened a meeting of community based organizations in which members from most of the prominent bodies like Nyishi Elite Society, Adi Bane Kebang etc took part.
A Cabinet meeting was also convened on the day during which it was decided that a commissioner level inquiry would be initiated to look into the debacle and a committee to assess the loss and damages caused to government and private properties.
An all party meeting was also called, however, besides members from the BJP no other party participated.
Itanagar is more or less peaceful but sporadic protests took place at Banderdewa and Chimpu areas in the daytime. Agitators in Banderdewa reportedly also burnt one of the private residences of deputy chief minister Chowna Mein.
