Responding to the representation, Puri commended the IMC “for being the voice of its public” and bringing the grievances of the public to his ministry.
At the mayor’s invitation, Puri said that he would visit Arunachal soon. He further commended the Arunachal government for implementing various projects successfully in the state.
