Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Nabam Tuki has exhorted the Indo Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) authorities to develop border areas and work in the interest of Arunachalees living in border areas while guarding the frontier.
The CM’s exhortation came when ITBP Inspector-General R.K. Saini accompanied by DIG Ajay Pal Singh and sector commandant Manish Kataria called on the former in his office chamber here yesterday, official sources informed today.
While discussing matters relating to Sino-Indian border areas where the ITBP has replaced the Assam Rifles since 2004, Tuki lauded the yeoman’s service of the force in the tough and hilly terrain.
He said that he had visited the last border posts, including Lumla, Bumla Pass, Lada, Damin, Sarli, Huri, Taksing, Mechuka, Yarlung, Monigong, Tuting and Damben, and was aware of the hardships in those areas.
Considering the hardships of the people, he said that he had announced a circle headquarters at Damben in Dibang Valley district and an amount of Rs one crore was earmarked for its development.
Saini informed that ITBP has been taking up various programmes, including supplying essential materials, solar lights, books, bags, furniture to schools, conducting medical camps and providing free medicines under BADP and civic action programmes, as the Central Government has an avowed policy for the development of the sensitive border State.
