ITANAGAR, Jun 23:

BJP Arunachal Pradesh President, Tapir Gao, while congratulating the people on Pasighat’s selection in the smart city list termed it as a ‘great honour’.

‘Selecting Pasighat, the oldest town of the state, is indeed the greatest honour to the century old town where most of the earliest public leaders, legislators and senior government officials, who shaped the destiny of the Arunachal Pradesh were groomed and educated. It is, therefore, a beautiful gift and tribute to the first centre of learning of Arunachal Pradesh,’ Gao said.

While appreciating the Centre’s decision, Gao expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Minister of Urban Development, Venkaiah Naidu for their kind gesture towards the people of the State. He opined that with development of Pasighat as a smart city, the economic growth of eastern Arunachal Pradesh will see a new impetus and trajectory.  ‘This latest development once again vindicates the commitment of NDA government under the leadership PM Modi towards development of north-eastern region,’ he asserted.

 

While appreciating Chief Minister Pema Khandu, for his support and guidance to the Smart City competition campaign, Gao felt that it was only because of the active support of the State Government, Pasighat Town could compete and win the smart city selection competition this time. 

On an advisory note, the State BJP President expressed that winning of the smart city competition was just the beginning of the mission. ‘In order to realise the vision as envisaged in the Smart City proposal, all the citizens of the State along with the State Government has to work hard to transform the century old Pasighat Town into a real smart city,’ he said urging all to join hands in making Pasighat truly the first smart city of the State.
