During his official visit to Dirang, Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu dedicated several important infrastructure projects in the West Kameng district, including a major bridge, a sub-divisional secretariat, and improved educational facilities. In honor of his late brother and former MLA Jambey Tashi, he also dedicated the Jambey Tashi Memorial Peace Park in Chug Valley. Khandu wrote on social media that his brother’s legacy of service and harmony is symbolized by the peace park.
His Eminence Padma Shri Guru Tulku Rinpoche led the consecration prayers. In order to strengthen public administration, Khandu opened the recently built sub-divisional secretariat at Hing Thangkha in front of many MLAs and Home Minister Mama Natung. The opening of a 70-meter double-lane steel bridge across the Meyong River in Kharsa, which replaced the previous suspension bridge, improved connectivity in Dirang. According to Khandu, the infrastructure would make it more easier for locals to move around and make it easier for administrative services to be moved to Hing Thangkha.
Chief Minister Pema Khandu inaugurated the newly built Government Higher Secondary School in Dirang—a modern G+3 facility with smart classrooms, science and geography labs, IT rooms, a library, and a conference hall—aimed at enhancing learning and reducing dropouts. He also opened Changphu Park at Kharkatang, a four-acre recreational space along the Meyong River featuring a walking track, play zone, open gym, and water features to boost tourism and healthy living.
Additionally, Khandu inaugurated upgrades at Government Middle School, Dirang, a transit camp, and a water supply project for Bomdila Township, while laying foundations for new bridges and strategic roads connecting Thembang and nearby villages. He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to balanced and inclusive regional development.
