TEZU, Jun 13:A preliminary meeting in connection with State Infrastructure Development Fund (SIDF) was held at Mini Secretariat, Tezu today.

Attending the meeting, Minister Agriculture, Horticulture AH&V, Fishery and Sports & Youth Affairs, Dr Mohesh Chai asked the departments to prepare and propose schemes and plans that are innovative and new.

Dr. Chai has asked the departments concerned to prepare the projects which are challenging yet feasible. Every aspect of the project should be thoroughly researched before submitting, he told.

Dr. Chai also touched upon some of the burning issues pertaining to the district. He expressed his concern over the poor performance of Class X and Class XII CBSE results which was announced recently. He was dismayed over the pass percentage of 26 percent and 45.2 per cent in the district for both classes respectively.

‘We will have to introspect as to where we went wrong and find the solution at the earliest,’ he said.

One of the main concerns pertaining to Lohit District is flood. Therefore, the Minister has asked the DDMO to conduct an awareness camp in the villages, especially at Danglat to educate the villagers of the danger of venturing out in the forests and rivers during monsoon season.

Dr. Chai urged upon all the district officers to be sincere and contribute in making Lohit district a Model District in Arunachal Pradesh.

A District Committee on SIDF will be constituted under the Chairmanship of Deputy Commissioner, MLA and other members shortly for selection of projects and schemes, informed DC Karma Leki.

Meanwhile as a flood preparedness measure,  the DC has instructed DDMO to activate the Flood Response Team and District Control Room. He also directed to designate relief camps, prepare resource mapping and constitute rescue team.

PWD, RWD, WRD, Education, Health and Family Welfare, UD, NIC etc presented their proposals in the house.

Earlier, Dr. Chai was accorded a warm welcome on his maiden visit to his home constituency after assuming the additional portfolio of Agriculture, Horticulture, Fishery and Sports & Youth Affairs.
