KHIRMU, Mar 4: Villagers from Nahmhed, Bomdir, Wodkhyer, Langpo-tse and Khirmu benefitted from the Sarkar Aapke Dwar (SAD) camp organised here on Monday by the Tawang district administration.
The camp was inaugurated by DC (in-charge) Dochora Lama, who informed that Tawang has been ranked sixth among the districts in the country in terms of rural sanitation.
“It is a matter of pride, but at the same time we have to continue with maintaining the surroundings clean and do better in near future,” he said.
He also informed the villagers about Tawang district winning the gold medal from the state government “for its sincere efforts in delivering services to the villagers of far-flung areas.”
