ITANAGAR, Nov 24:Chief Minister Pema Khandu expressed shock and grief over the sudden demise of former Member of the State Legislative Assembly Lokam Tado, who breathed his last today.

Khandu, who is on tour of Anjaw district, conveyed his deepest condolences to the bereaved family members and the people, especially those of 7-Koloriang (ST) Assembly constituency in Kurung Kumey district, whom he represented in the Legislative Assembly from 1980 to 1984.

Son of Late Lokam Tarin, he had succeeded Late Chera Talo, the then elected representative of the constituency in 1980 when the strength of the Legislative Assembly was only 33. While 30 were elected representatives, 3 were nominated during the Union Territory days of the state.

In his condolence message, Khandu said, “Late Tado was a very gentle, soft-spoken, hardworking and a dedicated first generation leader of the state. In his demise not only the Nysihi community has lost one of its luminaries, the state’s nascent political history has also lost a chapter.”

“On behalf of the people, I convey my deep condolences to the members of his family, friends and well wishers. I pray for his soul to rest in eternal peace,” Khandu added.

Late Lokam Tado is survived by his wife, two sons and two daughters.
