ITANAGAR: Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lieutenant General K. T. Parnaik, on his two-day visit to Lower Subansiri, reviewed the security and law and order scenario in the district. He said that Arunachal Pradesh is receiving lots of focus for social, economic, and infrastructure development from the central government, which requires meticulous planning and timely implementation at the district and state levels.
Parnaik advised the security forces to diligently plan by means of automation of their systems for timely analysis and integration. He also stressed a cohesive approach, proper liaison, and coordination amongst the security forces and state police. The governor advised the officers to absorb the local customs and traditions of the people and participate in their cultural events. He further asked them to encourage the youth to join the armed forces, as sons of the soil will always be an asset for the forces.
The governor, during his tour, also visited the Panyor Lower Hydro Power Station at Yazali and reviewed the whole project, which is the second largest hydro power station of North Eastern Electric Power Corporation Ltd. (NEEPCO) in the state. Parnaik commended the NEEPCO officials for efficient power production and maintenance of the station and further advised them to work with dedication and sincerity as their efforts are contributing towards nation-building. The project has an installed capacity of 405 megawatts, and in the financial year 2022–23, the plant generated 1376.279 MU against the design energy of 1293.73 MU.
Parnaik also visited the water conservation projects, Seeh Amrit Sarovar and Sikhe Amrit Sarovar, at Ziro, the district headquarters. He congratulated the people of the Ziro plateau for the projects and said that they immensely benefit the agrarian community and are a blessing for the flora and fauna of the valley. The governor said that both lakes are in the line of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Amrit Sarovar Campaign, which must be emulated in other parts of the state.
He emphasized biodiversity conservation and the cleanliness of the lakes. Parnaik further suggested setting up emporiums, light and sound shows, and art and culture facilities in the vicinity of the lakes, which would be a source of income and employment generators for the youth. The governor also visited the Advance Landing Ground (ALG) at Ziro, where he was apprised of the status of the ALG operations as well as issues of concern being faced by Squadron Leader S. P. Pavithran, Detachment Commander of the ALG.
