ITANAGAR, 9 Aug:<\/strong> Women and Child Development Minister Dasanglu Pul on Saturday paid heartfelt tribute to her late husband and former chief minister Kalikho Pul on his ninth death anniversary, remembering him as a “true son of Arunachal Pradesh” whose life was dedicated to the welfare of its people.<\/p>\n

In an emotional message, Pul said that although nine years have passed since his demise, “the pain of his absence remains as deep as the day he left us.”<\/p>\n

She recalled his journey from humble beginnings to the highest office of the state, describing it as one marked by resilience, compassion and an unshakable commitment to justice.<\/p>\n

“He worked tirelessly to reach the remotest corners, to listen to the unheard, and to bring hope where it was needed most,” she said.<\/p>\n

Dasanglu described the former chief minister as her “greatest pillar of strength” and a leader who touched countless lives with humility, generosity, and a vision for a better future.<\/p>\n

“Though he is no longer with us, his ideals live on in every act of kindness, in every voice that speaks for fairness, and in every dream for a stronger and united Arunachal,” she said, vowing to carry forward his legacy.<\/p>\n

In Anjaw district, where Kalikho Pul hailed from, a solemn ceremony was organised to mark the occasion, with family members, well-wishers, government officials and members of the public offering floral tributes and recalling his contributions.<\/p>\n

Deputy Commissioner Millo Kojin described Pul as “a visionary leader with a clear vision for a developed Arunachal Pradesh,” lauding his inclusive approach and ability to bridge divides across the state’s diverse communities.<\/p>\n

The event, attended by Superintendent of Police Anurag Dwivedi, Hawai SDO Dakli Gara, heads of departments, public leaders and community members, was seen as both a memorial and a reaffirmation of Pul’s ideals of compassion, integrity and inclusivity in governance.<\/p>\n

Pul, who served briefly as chief minister in 2016, passed away in August the same year.<\/p>\n
