Through this forum, I sincerely acknowledge our gratitude to the people of our state right from Tawang to Longding who have felt the sufferings of the people of Longliang and voluntarily contributed as per their capacity. It is this idea to Pan-Arunachal that we, as an organization have been striving for and should be imbibed by everyone of us, stressed Dai.
