Itanagar: Arunachal Pradesh Governor K T Parnaik ordered faster progress on the Myanmar border fence Sunday, November 15. He held a high-level security meeting in Namsai to address rising threats in Tirap, Changlang, and Longding districts. The governor pushed for better coordination between the Army, Assam Rifles, state police, intelligence units, and the civil administration. This marked the second meeting aimed at fixing delays in the construction project.
Parnaik insisted that agencies must follow Union Ministry of Home Affairs directions immediately. He wants a whole-of-the-state strategy to fight cross-border drug smuggling. Agencies must prioritize stability and public confidence. The governor said a comprehensive security assessment of the three districts was necessary to maintain peace, stability and public confidence.
Attendees included Major General H S Mavi, IGAR (North); Brigadier Adarsh Kumar Singh of the 25 Sector Assam Rifles; and Project Udayak Chief Engineer S K Verma. Local officials including Namsai Deputy Commissioner Lobsang Tsering, Changlang Deputy Commissioner R D Thungon, Tirap Deputy Commissioner Badonlum Tawsik, and Longding Additional Deputy Commissioner Pebika Lego reported on project bottlenecks.
