“We as responsible citizens should ensure proper law and order are maintained in the area.

Terming good roads and connectivity as an economy booster

The entire district suffers due to bad roads. Therefore I have, in public interest and out of the way facilitated Rs 11 crore for the maintenance of the Potin to Bopi stretch of road until the TAH gets the final clearance,” he said while calling for quality execution of the work.
“We have already wasted a lot of time due to political differences. It is high time we start working as a team Arunachal and build a sense of collective responsibility towards the people and work in tandem for the state and the country as a whole.”, he further added.
