ITANAGAR, Feb 22: The All Param Putu Circle Youth Association (APPCYA) and All Arunachal Pradesh RTI Activist Association (AAPRTIAA) have served 15-days ultimatum to the state government to prevent the construction of the new  circle office building at Loth. Following the failure to address the demand, the associations threatened to launch a democratic movement.   
Addressing the media persons here at the press club today, APPCYA President, Rending Tayo Beki claimed that as per the government notification, the circle office building was supposed to be established at Param Putu. Param Putu is the Circle headquarters, and the circle office should be constructed in the same place, he said.
He said that the foundation, as well as the inauguration stone, has been laid at Loth, which is illegal and not according to the government notification. Loth is supposed to be a camp office for the temporary running of administration convenience.
“But groups of people, politically motivated are trying to convert the same temporary building as a permanent Circle headquarters building, which is illegal. Moreover, the public of Param Putu have donated sufficient land for the establishment of a CO office in Param Putu area,” he added. 
He said that a group of people is constructing Param Putu Circle Office building at Loth without prior sanctioning from the competent authority. And, also planning to inaugurate the same, which is illegal.
He said the association has sufficient official record that justifies their claim that the circle office building was to be constructed at Param Putu.
“The office building being constructed at Loth falls under Tajgi Village Reserve Forest. As such, the Forest department has not given any NOC to construct such structure at Loth, which is also illegal as per law,” he further claimed. 
The association also filed an FIR at the Police Station, Ziro for illegal construction of the CO Office building at Loth village.
Further, he appealed to the state government for the creation of Param Putu Administrative Circle with camp headquarters at Loth and issue a fresh notification as per the earlier proposal for creation of Param Putu Circle and its headquarters at Param Putu to avoid law and problem within the area and greater interest of the public of Param Putu Circle.
