I feel truly privileged to have attended the first-ever official recognition programme of the Arunachal Pradesh Trade Union Council (APTUC), led by Shri Jalley Sonam & Shri Tadar Cheku President & Secretary General which was successfully held in Naharlagun.
The event was attended by Shri Nyato Dukom, Hon'ble Minister of Labour & Employment, and IPR, GoAP. Guest, of Honour Shri Dodum Yangfo, President of APUWJ; and Spe,cial Guest Ms Gigi Rina, Corporator of Ward No. 18.
It was inspiring to witness such a meaningful gathering dedicated to the welfare and unity of workers. During the interactive session, members of the All Arunachal Pradesh Public Transport Federation (AAPPTF) and the All Arunachal Pradesh Workers Union (AAPWU) actively participated, making the programme engaging and impactful.
A proud moment for all of us as we move forward together for the rights, dignity, and empowerment of workers across Arunachal Pradesh.

The All Arunachal Pradesh Public Transport Federation (AAPPTF) conveys its unwavering trust in the leadership and transparency of the Hon’ble Chief Minister, Shri Pema Khandu Arunachal Pradesh.
We have duly noted the Hon’ble Supreme Court’s directive for a preliminary inquiry by the Central Bureau of Investigation into the allegations concerning the issuance of tenders and work orders without adherence to codal formalities.
We firmly believe that this inquiry will serve to dispel the false and fabricated allegations of corruption that have been repeatedly levelled against you and your family. It will also bring finality to the cloud of suspicion that vested interests have attempted to sustain since 2015, thereby restoring clarity and confidence in the governance of our State.
In solidarity, and with utmost respect for constitutional propriety, the Federation reaffirms its commitment to the principles of transparency, accountability, and procedural justice. We acknowledge the seriousness of the matter and place our full faith in the due process of law, which alone safeguards the dignity of governance and the trust of the people.
The Federation assures its continued cooperation with all lawful processes and reiterates its confidence in your ability to steer the State through this testing time with integrity, resilience, and resolve.
With respectful regards,
AAPPTF
