\nITANAGAR, Feb 3:<\/strong> In a bid to make Arunachal better, safe, secure and clean, the home department in collaboration with the capital complex administration organised a programme under the Hamara Arunachal Abhiyan (HAA) here on Monday.
\nVarious stakeholders, including HoDs, representatives of NGOs, members of sector committees, and media persons attended the programme.
\nChairing the programme, Home Minister Bamang Felix said “the need of the hour is to streamline the system in the capital,” adding that “once the capital region is under control, the rest of the state will follow suit.”
\nFelix said there is a gap between the elders and the young generation, “and modalities need to be developed to bridge the gap, involving every individual to transform the society.”
\nHighlighting the objectives of the HAA, he urged the sector committees to take on the onus of transforming and reforming their sectors, saying, “Charity begins at home.”
\nThe HM said that the mission would be continued “until the goal is achieved.” He asked the department concerned to ensure the success of the ‘smart city’ project, adding that “development must be visible to the citizens.”
\nMLA Techi Kaso said the role of dedicated and sincere officers, especially IAS officers, “is crucial in making the HAA effective and visible.”
\nHe noted that “some IAS officers just come to spend their time, without contributing noticeable works.”
\nCiting the example of the Nyishi community, which has abolished child marriage, Kaso said “change is possible if the citizens are sincere and dedicated.”
\nHe expressed opposition to erecting any structure in IG Park, in order to protect the little green space that still remains there.
\nSmart City Project CEO Bhanu Prabha informed that 60 CCTV cameras would be installed in the capital complex and monitored 24×7 by the police control room.
\nShe added that a “multi-storied parking lot with a mechanical parking system” will be constructed to ease traffic congestion in the capital, and informed that streetlights “which can react to the motion of vehicle movement” are being installed along NH 415.
\nThe CEO urged the citizens to “give honest feedbacks on the municipal performance index and the ease of living index to know the issues and areas which the authority can look into.”
\nPlanning Secretary Sonal Swaroop said individual efforts would help in making Itanagar a smart city.
\n“We need partnership from the citizens. As the citizens have expectations from us to deliver, we do have same expectations from them to cooperate in (matters of) civic responsibility,” she said.
\nIGP Chukhu Appa also stressed on civic responsibility, and said citizens, parents and society play significant roles in maintaining law and order, too.
\n“The people of Arunachal should draw inspiration from Mizoram how society and the citizens contribute in making Mizoram a disciplined state,” he said.
\n“Discipline and orderliness are linked to civic responsibility. Lawful and orderly living is blissful heaven,” said Appa. He also urged the Nyishi Elite Society to “come forward to help the authority to make Itanagar a model town.”
\nCapital Complex DC Komkar Dulom said “the citizens must understand that government officers are just to facilitate them.
\n“Once the system is in place, the citizens must overtake the officers to make Itanagar better and clean,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
