Speaking on the occasion, Deputy Commissioner, Tawang, Kesang Ngurup Damo, informed about the recent meeting of Deputy Commissioners of 19 border districts of the state on a vibrant village programme at New Delhi with higher authorities.
"Jemeithang, which has more potential in tourism and for tourists, is still unexplored. Likewise, Namka-chhu, the place where the first bullets of the 1962 war were fired, Kenzamani and the holy tree from where Dalai Lama entered India in 1959, the 12th-century old Gorzam stupa, etc. are yet to be visited by tourists," he said, expressing hope that in the near future, the Jemeithang area will come up as an important tourist destination. The local administration has started making action plans on possibilities and scopes for making the Jemeithang area vibrant and shall submit the same to the government for further consideration.
