GUWAHATI: Arunachal Pradesh government has created the state’s 22nd district, Kamle which was inaugurated by Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Friday.
Congratulating the people of the newly created district, Khandu appreciated local legislator Tamar Murtem, Nyishi Elite Society, All Nyishi Students’ Union, All Nyishi Youth Association other community based organizations and local leaders for their genuine efforts in realizing the demand waiting in the shed for years.
“But this is just the beginning. Now we have to nurture and develop the newborn district. In terms of land, you have enough…around 8000 sq kms. We have to plan properly and utilize our resources judiciously so that Kamle district becomes at par with rest of the districts in the quickest possible time,” he said.
Khandu requested landowners to generously donate and cooperate with the district administration in creation of infrastructure to run the district. He assured that funds would not be a constraint in the development of the district.
“In the next budget we will keep enough provisions for the newly created districts. Wait for the budget announcements,” he assured.
Asserting that teamwork and resolve is needed to finish incomplete works, Khandu said that for years the establishment of divisional commissioner offices were pending, while the Lower Siang issue was being dragged on and on.
