Itanagar: State Lok Sabha MP Tapir Gao has urged the Centre to redraw the State’s political map to include Angie Valley of Anini besides, Drai Calley, Kajab and Kayo Valleys of Chaglagam area in Anjaw district.

Gao raised the political map issue during Zero Hour in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday.

The BJP MP from Arunachal East Parliamentary constituency claimed that more than 120 kilometres have been carved out by the Survey of India and British India in mentioned areas of the State’s eastern boundary with China.

“More than 120 kilometres had been carved out by Survey of India in Angie Valley-Fish Tail-1(FT-1) in Dibang Valley district. Also in Fish Tail-2 (FT-2), like Drai Valley, Kajab Valley and Kayo Valley of Chaglagam areas in Anjaw district” said Gao.

“Hadigra Dakahru Pass, Galai Tagaru Pass and Tatu Pass in Chaglagam areas are on top of the hill and all border outposts (BoPs) exist outside the drawn map. The political map should be redrawn including all these areas as per the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and Watershed Policy” Gao claimed.

The MP called upon the Government of India especially, Survey of India to take note.

“Under Modi’s leadership, how PoK is being shown under the Indian Political map, similarly Angei Valley of Dibang Valley, Kajab Valley and Kayo Valley of Chaglahgam areas in Anjaw district should be shown,” he said.

Gao raised the boundary issue after attending a high-level meeting with the Army at the Raj Bhawan here on January 27, which was chaired by Governor Brig (retd) Dr BD Mishra.

The meeting was attended by Chief Minister Pema Khandu, Legislative Assembly Speaker Passang Dorjee Sona, Eastern Command GOC-in-C Lt Gen Anil Chauhan and 4 Corps GOC Lt Gen Shantanu Dayal.
