ITANAGAR, Jun 6: Former Chief Minister Gegong Apang has mourned the sudden demise of former Minister Kardu Taipodia, who breathed his last on Sunday after a prolonged illness.

In a condolence message today, Apang wrote, “Late Kardu Taipodia was one of my cabinet ministers during my tenure of chief ministership. He was indeed the most dedicated and sincere person with down to earth personality, who worked tirelessly for the welfare of the people of his constituency in particular and state as a whole. His death has caused an irreparable loss to his family in particular and the people of state as a whole.

“…He had an endearing personality with amiable nature, a simple, unsophisticated and straight forward person. He was really a good social worker and a very dynamic political leader. During his time, a lot of socio-economic activities were done in Likabali and Gensi Assembly constituency. He gave equal opportunity to one and all because he was an open hearted person. We will always cherish his fond memories in all the time to come,” Apang said.
