A CORRESPONDENT
ROING: Minister for Health & Family Welfare, WCD and SJETA Alo Libang laid the foundation stone for the multi-storey war memorial museum at Bongal Yapgo, Dambuk near here on Monday.
Speaking on the occasion, Libang said that it was the concerted efforts of all the MLAs of the constituency that would see the dream of the construction of a multi-storey war museum in the area come to fruition. He further added that it was not only the people of the area who had sacrificed their lives in the Bongal-Yapgo War but people from Upper Siang too had come and fought together with the people from Dambuk and some warriors from Upper Siang too had lost their lives. He also stressed on research to be done in a proper way so that unsung heroes' names would not be left out.
MLA Lombo Tayeng expressed his support for the construction of a war museum stating that through it the people will know about the history of how Adi warriors fought the mighty Britishers. The museum will also bring in visitors and boost the local economy, he added.
