They also expressed concern over the recovery of several Chinese gas cylinders and containers containing toxic substances from the river."The denial mode of the Government of India on the pretext of natural calamities needs to be discarded. The Centre should confront the Chinese government for a permanent solution," said a member of a students' body.He added, "The feeling of pain, agony and uncertainty can only be expressed by a person whose house and belongings are washed away by the rampaging Siang."
