NARI , Feb 4: Chief Minister Pema Khandu launched the third leg of Arunachal Rising campaign here today in presence of DCM Chowna Mein and MLAs Kento Rina, Kaling Moyong, Tatung Jamoh, PD Sona and Olom Panyang. 
Speaking on the occasion, CM said that his Jan Sampark Yatra gave him opportunity and happiness to visit every corner of the state and meet people, who hitherto had little idea about the various flagship programmes of the government. 
In the past even many elected officials didn’t knew about the important central schemes and many such information were concealed somewhere, said the Chief Minister. He said places such as Tirap, Longding and Changlang districts saw deprivation of central schemes with such schemes being implemented only in few pockets of the state. 
However, the situation is different today with central schemes being implemented evenly across the state irrespective of the constituencies ruled by ruling or opposition parties, said Khandu. To make development inclusive and to fight the past deprivation,the state government has emphasized that central schemes be implemented on need basis and not on the basis of pick and choose, he stressed. 
CM appreciated the district administration for carrying out 15 Sarkar Aapke Dwar camps in the district and reaching out to more than 44,000 beneficiaries. He said administration has done commendable job despite shortage of officers and staffs due to the Lower Siang district being newly created.

Chief Minister assured the people that within this year he would lay foundation for new district secretariat and all infrastructure works for setting up of district headquarters will be taken up. He also said the issue over location of district headquarters will be resolved in the coming days.

Responding to a one point public memorandum, Chief Minister promised to sanction funds for construction of intra district administrative road connectivity from new Sirem Circle to Koyu Circle.
On digital connectivity, Chief Minister said the centre has sanctioned Rs 1700 crore for the state but the work has been held up due to litigation issues in Supreme Court. Chief Minister said the matter has been taken up with central government to resolve the matter with urgency and the centre has assured to take it up immediately. CMO
