“In the eyes of rest of Arunachal, people of West Kameng and Tawang are known for their discipline and integrity. It is this tradition for respect of elders, being religious and peaceful, that people from other districts have a good image of us - giving them the sense of hope and good feelings,” he said.

He said due to this very positive nature, the two districts have produced three Chief Ministers and several Union Ministers and urged the people to reason why people from these districts got the opportunity to serve the state in such capacity.
