ITANAGAR: Arunachal Pradesh Governor Brig (retd) Dr BD Mishra on Thursday stressed on the need to ensure safety, security and logistic requirement of the frontline corona warriors in the state for successful containment of the virus.

The Governor during a meeting with Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein at Raj Bhawan here, asked the State government to ensure safety, security and logistic requirement of the COVID-19 warriors by providing them adequate PPEs and other protective medical gears including masks and gloves besides observing all Standard Operating procedures (SOPs) while dealing with returnees from outside the state.

Dr Mishra said that students, patients and other people of the State, who have gone out before the lockdown must be comfortably brought back under the regular laid down SOPs of anti-COVID-19 measures including proper home quarantine.

The Governor, who donated 30 per cent of his monthly salary for a year to fight the pandemic also discussed in details about the quarantine arrangement, financial provision and security, an official communique informed here.

The Governor emphasised that the state must take lead in strengthening the five pillars for self-reliant India as mentioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi – economy, infrastructure, technology-driven system, vibrant demography and demand.

He said that the State has advantage of limited population and can go extra steps in fully utilizing the supply-demand chain.

Dr Mishra said that under Aatmanirbhar Bharat programme, the state government must focus on agriculture, horticulture, animal husbandry and dairy development, which have huge potential particularly in Kiwi, fruits juice preparation, floriculture and ornamental fish culture.

"Steps must be taken with stronger foundation to ensure that the people of the state do not depend on the neighbouring and other states for basic necessities at the time of crisis," he stressed.

The Governor advised the deputy chief minister to keep adequate fund for skill development and strongly advocated that the youth must be encouraged and motivated towards entrepreneurship.

The Governor also discussed about Mioa-Vijoynagar road restoration for economic prosperity of the remote Vijoynagar area and protection of the treasured flora and fauna of Namdapha National Park in Changlang district.
