PASIGHAT, May 21:Deputy Chief Minister, Chowna Mein said that there should not be hiccups in the implementation of Central Sponsored Schemes in the State. He said this while visiting the Industrial Growth Centre at Niglok-Ngorlung under Ruskin Sub- Division in East Siang District today.

He said that the Central Sponsored Schemes should be implemented rapidly without any hiccup. There is also instruction from the Central Government to the Chief Minister of every State to physically monitor the progress and implementation of the CSS in the State and the Deputy Commissioner must visit villages every first week of the month. He said that his visit to the IGC is one such monitoring as per the directives of the Chief Minister.

While lauding the people of the area for donating such large areas for establishment of an Industrial Growth Centre, which is a 100% Central Govt Sponsored scheme, he appealed to extend all possible support from the state government citing ‘we must carry forward the legacy of development as envisioned by the pioneers who had donated the land for such a good cause.’
