Arunachal CM Pema Khandu Pushes For Strengthening Power Infrastructure In Tawang

TAWANG: Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu held an important discussion on Thursday, January 6, with officials from PowerGrid on the status of the Comprehensive Scheme for Strengthening of Transmission, Sub-Transmission, and Distribution System being implemented in Tawang district.

"These transmission projects are vital to addressing the persistent power shortages in Tawang district, especially during the harsh winter months. Ensuring reliable power supply remains a top priority, and we are committed to expediting these projects for the benefit of our people," CM Khandu stated in his X post.

Deputy Chief Minister and Minister-in-charge of Power, Chowna Mein, reviewed the progress of the Comprehensive Scheme for Strengthening of Transmission and Distribution System in Arunachal Pradesh (CSST&DS-AP) in a meeting at his Civil Secretariat office last year in November.

The meeting focused on expediting the implementation of the transmission and distribution system while addressing key challenges, including disbursement and compensation issues for the transmission lines stretching from Tawang to Longding.

With an emphasis on accelerating progress, the Deputy Chief Minister urged the concerned officials to ensure project completion by March 2025, within the specific timelines for each transmission line that were fixed during the meeting.
