Rs. 10000 CR package for Arunachalpradesh

What must be much happier news than this? All the people of Arunachal Pradesh must be beaming with happiness. I think the state is lucky that a state with population of 13 lakhs has got a Rs. 10,000 cr package from the PM visits. Very few North-eastern states got such package. But, it is negligible comparing that the state has been neglected by the Central government for so many years. It is better late than never, which the people of the state should be content with. With so long of negligence, the state is lagging behind 20-25 years in terms of developments. If it got the attention before the condition of the state would have been different.
Thanks to the China’s claim over the state (NO offence intended). Due to which the state is getting all the attention from the centre. Now , it is to be seen how the visionary politicians of the state grab the opportunity to get the attention of the centre and press firmly for the overall development of the state, particularly, in the field of infrastructure, education, health care and impetus for the tourism industry. It will be a test on their manipulative and convincing power.
According to me , the gem of the package is the Rs. 5,500 cr 18,40 km trans Arunachal Highway linking Tawang to Mahadevpur. It is the dream of all Arunachalis to be able to travel from one corner of the state to the other without entering Assam. It is really frustrating for people stranded in one corner of the state to not be able to go to the other corner due to bandh and other disturbances in Assam. Why should the citizen of the state pay the price for the bandh call in Assam?
I don’t know how many people in the state are concern about the building of big hydel power project in the state. Just imagine , how many people will be affected and how much of the forested land will be submerged under water due to the 3000 MW Dibang Power Project. I am not against building hydro Project but against big dam. This will be the biggest in the country. It is good to build small dam which will make less impact on the ecology as well as on the population. Due to the building of such dam on the river Karnapuli in Chittagong hill Tract in erstwhile Pakistan( Presently Bangladesh), lakhs of Chakmas had to seek refuge in India. The careless act of the then Pakistani government made the Chakmas in Arunachal Pradesh nation less. Now they are leading a precarious life as refugees in the state.
It is surprising that the CM Dorjee Khandu requested the PM to constitute a high-level committee to solve the Chakma-Hajong problem in the state. I don’t know whether the committee will be made from the Centre or from the state assembly. As already a high power committee had been constituted in the state few months back with Setong Sena as the Chairman. I don’t know to what conclusion they have reach till now. The problem can only be solve if the willingness come from the politician as it is a political problem. Only constituting high level committee will take the problem to nowhere . what is the present high power committee doing till now ? with the state assembly and Lok Sabha election due in the middle of next year, it will require a superhuman willingness from the politicians to find a solution. It is well known fact that ,election will not be held in Chakma and Hajong inhabited constituencies if they are not enroll in the voter list. So, the onus is on the state government side.
