Members Phurpa Tsering, Mutchu Mithi, Dasanglu Pul, Lokam Tassar, Tsering Tashi and Talem Taboh who attended the meeting echoed similar concerns and suggested setting up a platform of legislators from border areas to highlight the issues, as individual requests are not effective.
Accordingly, the members unanimously constituted “Indo-China Border Development Legislators’ Forum of Arunachal Pradesh” with Sona as chairman, Lokam Tassar as convenor and others as members.
During the course of discussion, the members also suggested modification of existing Border Area Development Programme guidelines, fund enhancement and submission of block-wise utilisation certification instead of existing collective one which hampers implementation of BADP schemes.
The members also decided to submit a memorandum to the chief minister soon highlighting their grievances to be taken up at the appropriate level.
