According to Chief Minister Pema Khandu, the government is now focusing on the rapid development of areas along the line of actual control (LAC). The CM wrapped up his three-day tour of the Upper Subansiri district on Thursday.

The tour, which included DCM Chowna Mein, MP Tapir Gao, Speaker PD Sona, MLAs Laisam Simai, Zingnu Namchoom, Hayeng Mangfi, and Jikke Tako, Secretary Dani Salu, and Director Abu Tayeng, was intended to learn about the people’s living conditions and expectations from the central and state governments.

Addressing public meetings in Taksing, Gelemo, and Nacho, Khandu emphasised the importance of border development, stating that the government is now focused on accelerating development of the areas along the LAC “by constructing roads up to the border and building other vital infrastructures.”

He also stated that Arunachal’s regions near international borders will soon be connected to 4g mobile connectivity.

The CM emphasised the importance of civilian populations in border areas, saying that they should be able to move freely and engage in sustenance activities near the LAC, “which would help deter the enemy’s claim on our territory.”

“In Tawang, human activity like yak rearing, tourism and pilgrimage centres are being developed right at the border, which aids in maintaining vigil at the LAC,” Khandu said.

Having personally inspected the condition of the road from Taksing to Nacho, and to Maza sector, he promised to “take up with the Centre for improvement of road infrastructure.”

The CM also promised to build a hydel in Taksing, provide road connectivity in Taksing circle’s interior villages, improve the helipad in Nacho, build a new general ground in Nacho, and speed up road connectivity between Limeking and Pipsorang.

The CM and his team paid a visit to the ITBP Ghora post near the LAC on the first day of the tour. On the way to Nacho on the second day, the CM met with the villagers of Gelemo and met with army, ITBP, and BRO officials.

The CM met with the army, the BRO, and the works department in Nacho to review the work on defence and PMGSY roads. On his way to Nacho from Taksing, the CM unveiled a bust of Indian Army havildar Dhere Thapa at his memorial.

During the 1962 war, Thapa is said to have single-handedly stopped waves of invading Chinese armies for about two hours. The CM laid the groundwork for a tourist lodge and a convention hall in Nacho on the third day.

He also dedicated to the people the Bailey bridge built by the rural works department over the Keo and Koduk rivers. The three-day tour concluded with the CM and his team attending Nacho’s Si-Donyi festival.
