DAMBUK, Aug 24: Arunachal East Lok Sabha MP, Tapir Gao, today donated Rs two lakh to cover fuel expenses for the earthmovers currently being employed to remove muck from the Sisar river.
Debris and muck from road construction activities had made its way into the river near Dambuk, Lower Dibang Valley that led to the Sisar changing its course. Youths from the area soon gathered to form a committee that is currently involved in the removal of muck from the river to divert it back to its original course.
Earthmovers have been provided by the executing agency and a local resident of Dambuk.
Gao visited the site after attending a District Development Coordination and Monitoring Committee meeting in Tezu; his first since the election. He was accompanied by Dambuk MLA, Gum Tayeng.
Interacting with residents, Gao said that he will make a proposal for early-flood protection scheme to the state government.
Gao said that he had seen videos of the floodwaters entering agricultural fields near the river and was saddened by the images.
