Party Activities

Will miss a very sincere and hardworking officer Vikram Singh Malik (IAS) who successfully headed Arunachal’s control room for #COVID19 contributing enormously in the fight against the virus. Wishing you all luck as you head for New Delhi in assisting the COVID-19 management in the national capital.

WorldEnvironmentDay

To care for humanity is to care for nature. Today on #WorldEnvironmentDay, let us all take the pledge to preserve and protect nature. Went on a plantation drive this morning. It’s time for all of us to take action and restore our natural world.

A review today with the State Contact Tracing Team. The team’s job is to help stop the chain of coronavirus transmission in the event of any positive case in the state. Happy to know that the team has successfully tracked all people in contact with the #COVID-19 patient, who had tested positive recently. Looking forward to effective coordination between the State and District Contact Tracing Team to fight the pandemic.

Happy to meet today Shri Lham Thrinley, DIG in Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) at SHQ Bomdila, a native from Dirang, during his call on at Tawang. Thank you, SSB for assisting the local administration in fighting the novel

Police Station Inaugurated

Jang, a small administrative headquarters in Tawang district now has a full-fledged police station. Inaugurated the police station at Jang today in presence of Hon’ble MLA Shri Tsering Tashi Ji.

Border Roads Organization (BRO)

I congratulate the Border Roads Organization (BRO) for completing the 50m Tawang Chu bridge and 45m Sukha bridge in Tawang and West Kameng districts respectively. Dedicated the bridges to the nation today, which will allow faster civilian and military movement near the India-Tibet border.

Hoping Arunachal continues to remain in the green zone. Every effort is on. Checked for any lack of facilities at a quarantine center in PTC, Banderdewa today. A team effort is must from the respective district administration, the health, and the police department to prevent seeping of coronavirus pandemic into our state.

The coronavirus crisis has a very important lesson for us that we grow our own food and be self-reliant. Big applause for all the BJP Karyakartas across the state who are practically carrying out these messages through their yeoman service. They are distributing their own farm grown rice and vegetables to the needy. They are also actively distributing masks that are locally made. I am proud of our party Karyakartas who is not only working with selfless zeal but is also leaving behind a very important message for the Arunachal that when confronted with difficulties, it’s tough that lasts not the tough times.
