Police have arrested 26 people, including five juveniles and two leading anti-dam activists, over violence in Pasighat during the October 23 bandh.
The Arunachal Congress called the deployment of 250 more RAF personnel "provocative" and demanded dialogue instead.
A bandh against another hydropower project in Upper Subansiri on Monday left two security personnel injured.
