Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu called on Governor KT Parnaik on Tuesday. They discussed developmental activities, the state government’s initiatives, and the flagship programmes of the central government during their meeting at the Raj Bhavan.

The governor commended the CM and his team for signing the memorandum of understanding on the Arunachal-Assam boundary issue. “With such a concrete step, the age-old amity prevailing on both sides of the state boundary will be further reinforced,” he said.

Speaking about his recent tour of the border area in Shi-Yomi district and his visit to villages under the Vibrant Villages Programme, the governor said that “the launching of 254 network towers will immensely benefit the villagers,” and added that, “with better connectivity, all pro-people programmes and policies will be implemented and monitored properly.”

The two also discussed the matter of starting the academic activities at the Arunachal Pradesh University in Pasighat (East Siang) from this session onwards.

CM Khandu briefed the governor on his recent visit to the national capital, and the steps being taken to improve road and telecommunication connectivity in the state.
