“Likewise, the need for a regular vice chancellor and teaching staff in the Arunachal University in Pasighat has also been addressed by the state government. Maybe the technical aspects for the recruitment of staff and VC are in process,” he said, adding that the construction of the road from Naharlagun to Banderdewa “is in process, which was delayed due to the recent monsoon rainfall.”

Natung urged the party workers to “achieve the party’s goals by reaching to the grassroots levels.” He also highlighted various programmes and projects initiated by the Khandu-led government for the welfare and growth of the state’s youths.
