Spearheaded by the Superintendent of Police Sumit Kumar Jha, the closing ceremony was marked by various activities generating awareness among all sections of people so that loss of property and assets could be minimised due to fire accidents. 
A 5-km long marathon race was organized this morning from Raneghat Bridge point to Pasighat Fire Service Station which was formally flagged off by the Pasighat West MLA Ninong Ering and IGP (Central Range) Mari Riba in presence of PMC Chief Councilor Okiam Moyong Borang and other dignitaries.
