Tough reforms on cards for better Arunachal: Pema Khandu

Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Monday said that his government would undertake tough reforms and would not hesitate to take on legacy issues for a better Arunachal Pradesh.

Unfurling the national flag at the Dera Natung Government College here, Khandu said that the decades-old boundary dispute between Arunachal and Assam has been handled in the right way for arriving at an amicable solution.

“Both Assam and Arunachal Pradesh are working and approaching the issue with open minds and clear intentions. We are hopeful that this issue will be resolved sooner than later. The recent Namsai Declaration is the decisive step in this direction,” he said.

Khandu called upon the people of the state to rededicate themselves to achieve the goal of a better and brighter Arunachal, safeguarding the sovereignty and integrity of the country.

“Our vision for ‘Arunachal@2047’, when we will celebrate 100 years of our independence and 75 years of the naming of Arunachal Pradesh, is to achieve highest standards in six pillars – governance reforms and prudent fiscal management, future-ready human capital, Atmanirbhar Arunachal, synergy and convergence, and lastly climate resilience,” he said.
