Highlighting Arunachal’s sensitive geopolitical location, the Governor underscored the strategic, security, and socio-economic significance of border fencing.
He stated that a strong fencing infrastructure with designated crossing points would act as a barrier to illegal infiltration, arms and drug trafficking, and insurgent movement, while also serving as a visible demarcation of Indian territory.
Such steps, he added, would ensure a stable and secure environment conducive to development in border areas.

The Governor also stressed the importance of the Inner Line Permit system as a legal and administrative safeguard essential to Arunachal Pradesh.
He described ILP as a critical mechanism for regulating the entry of non-residents, protecting the demographic balance, and preserving the cultural identity of indigenous communities.
Strengthening the ILP system, he said, would improve tracking and monitoring of visitors, thereby enhancing law and order.
In addition, the Governor reviewed the state’s surrender policy and internal security preparedness.
He praised the state police for their continued efforts and urged them to remain vigilant, proactive, and people-centric in their approach to maintaining peace and promoting development.
