Inaugurating a 50 kilowatt solar power plant for the Deputy Commissioner’s office at Tawang, Khandu disclosed that the Centre has already sanctioned an amount of Rs 3,500 crore to bring off grid connections in far flung villages of the State under the grid. “Work is being taken up for this in phased manner,” Khandu said.

He congratulated the Arunachal Pradesh Energy Development Agency (APEDA) for installing the 50 KW solar power plant at the DC office, an official communiqué informed.

Khandu while terming the government employees as ‘backbone’ of the State said it is the duty of the government to take care of its employees.

“The State Government is ready to give some more benefit to the government employees in days to come depending upon the State exchequer, but at the same time they should also reciprocate and render their service sincerely,” the Chief Minister said.

Khandu appreciated the good work culture and teamwork being shown by the Tawang district administration by providing services to the interior villages through Sarkar Aapke Dwar camps. The Chief Minister further announced that to meet the accommodation problem of government employees in Tawang, the government is working on a housing complex for its staff.

Tawang MLA Tsering Tashi, Chairman of Department of Karmik and Adhyatmik Affairs (DoKAA) Dikto Yaker, Hydro Power Corporation Limited (HPCL) Chairman Tungri Effa and Tawang DC Sang Phuntsok were among others who attended the programme.
