KHONSA— Tirap district in Arunachal Pradesh has received a designated District Information and Public Relations Officer (DIPRO) after a gap of nearly a decade, with Ponung Tasing, an Arunachal Pradesh Civil Service (APCS) officer, assuming charge on April 1, 2026.
Tasing joined as the DIPRO at Khonsa and submitted her joining report to Deputy Commissioner of Tirap, Techu Aran, in the presence of Additional Deputy Commissioner Namneet Singh.
