Tourism infrastructure in Arunachal Pradesh’s Dibang Valley received a boost with the inauguration of new visitor facilities near the Indo-China border during the Pre-Reh Festival celebrations at Angrim Valley. The initiative is aimed at improving tourism amenities while supporting local community development in one of India’s most remote border regions.
The inauguration was led by Mope Mihu, MLA from Anini and Advisor to the Minister of Tourism, Civil Aviation and Geology & Mining. He was joined by Bekir Nyorak, Zilla Parishad Chairperson Sadhu Mihu, and other senior district officials.
The newly opened facilities include a Tourist Centre, a Tourist Lodge, and a Community Hall. Officials said these facilities have been created to provide basic comfort and support services to visitors, while also serving as shared spaces for local residents. The infrastructure is expected to help Dibang Valley attract more tourists in a planned and responsible manner.
Speaking at the event, Mope Mihu stressed the importance of sustainable tourism in border districts. He said such projects can help generate income for local people, create employment opportunities, and support the preservation of traditional culture and lifestyles. He added that development in frontier areas should go hand in hand with respect for nature and indigenous heritage.
The inauguration took place alongside the Pre-Reh Festival, a traditional cultural celebration of the Idu Mishmi community. The festival featured customary rituals, music, and community gatherings, reflecting the deep-rooted cultural identity of the region.
