ITANAGAR, Jun 12:Governor PB Acharya has conveyed the gratitude of people of Arunachal Pradesh to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for inaugurating the Dhola-Sadiya Bridge.

In his letter, the Governor said that the bridge will not only instil sense of security and give thrust to the economical development of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam but also go a long way in further strengthening spirit of amity amongst the people of both States by connecting hearts.

He also hailed the naming of the infrastructure after legendary cultural icon of the North East, Dr. Bhupen Hazarika.

‘Late Hazarika is the cohesion force amongst the people of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam as he was born in Bolung village, Lower Dibang Valley District, which is now in Arunachal Pradesh after the bifurcation of NEFA,’ he added.

The Governor also thanked the Prime Minister on behalf of all Arunachalis for the new railway tracks initiatives, stating that the people believe that it will boost economy, tourism, religious pilgrimage and also definitely reinforce sense of security amongst the border area people.

Apprising the PM of the connectivity bottlenecks, the Governor said that connectivity in this region is a challenge. While stating that Air connectivity can give huge thrust in mitigating it, he made a sincere request to the Prime Minister and members of the Cabinet to expedite the process of activating Tezu Airport, Greenfield Airport at Itanagar and dual utilization of Advance Landing Grounds (ALG) for defence and civilian purposes.
