20-04-2025: ⁣In a press briefing held today, Neelam Pope, one of the founding organizers of the Lower Subansiri and Keyi Panyor Idol, raised serious concerns over the unauthorized launch of a new event titled Lower Subansiri Idol. Pope stated that this new event is being organized without informing or seeking consent from the original organizing team, despite the fact that Season 2 of the original Idol concluded less than a year ago and was built as a joint cultural initiative between Lower Subansiri and Keyi Panyor.

Pope highlighted that the sudden use of a similar event name and concept not only disrespects the collaborative spirit of the original platform but also causes confusion among participants and the public. He stated, “We were shocked to learn about this through social media announcements. There was no communication, no consent, and no respect shown toward the team that built this from scratch.”

To address the issue formally, Pope informed that he has already contacted the Deputy Commissioner (DC) and has filed an FIR at the Ziro Police Station against the new organizers for misrepresentation and unauthorized use of the event name and concept.
