The families of missing mountaineers from Arunachal Pradesh Tapi Mra and Niku Dao have decided to call off their protest following a meeting with ministers Nakap Nalo and Mama Natung.
Earlier on Sunday, the families of missing mountaineers Tapi Mra and Niku Dao had threatened to launch a hunger strike starting Monday to press for their demands.
Notably, the families of both mountaineers were staging an indefinite sit-in demonstration at the IG Park in Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh.
The families of the mountaineers have been demanding the Arunachal Pradesh government to relaunch the search and rescue operations.
Since August 17, Tapi Mra and Niku Dao have been missing.
Arunachal Pradesh’s highest peak, Mount Kyarisatam, was the destination of the pair’s exploratory trip.
