  1. A big question is why is there a Shivaji Nagar in Arunachal Pradesh? There are many local great people. Why not name a local area after them?!

  2. Northeast has enjoyed enough of tribal facilities and central can’t keep on feeding whole generations. Let’s see after 2020. Government will surely tighten it’s law as it should have done long time ago.

    1. Illegal overnight construction on road side for claiming compensation has become a routine feature in Arunachal.. In the past compensation have been given on such illegal constructions even on forest reserve, govt earmarked township areas.. This seems to have encouraged this wrong practice..
      Nevertheless, govt has to dealt with this menace else developmental work can’t be executed..

  3. This is democracy. Govt can’t do anything even the right things if people don’t agree. That’s is why India is underdeveloped.
