ITANAGAR, Mar 20: Health and Family Welfare & Water Resources Minister Biyuram Wahge, along with Doimukh MLA Nabam Vivek, carried out a joint survey at Radaso village on Friday to assess the feasibility of establishing road connectivity between Radaso (Papum Pare) and Diriso village under the Upper Dikalmukh area of Pakke Kessang district.
The survey team also included former Minister and State Rubber Board Chairman Atum Welly, Pakke Kessang ZPC Pani Tayem, Balijan ADC Takar Raba, and Taraso ZPM Deke Thomas. The programme was organised by 6/2 Lower Taraso Gram Chairperson Racha Rita Sangno.
Highlighting the significance of road connectivity in remote areas, Wahge said the proposed road would act as a lifeline for villages in both Papum Pare and Pakke-Kessang districts, enabling residents to transport agricultural and other produce more easily to Itanagar. He assured that the matter would be taken up with the government on priority for allocation of funds.
MLA Nabam Vivek urged the Minister to take the lead in facilitating early approval and funding for the project. He noted that improved connectivity between Taraso and Diriso would significantly ease travel for local residents, who currently have to pass through parts of Assam to commute.
Radaso and Diriso villages lie along the Assam-Arunachal boundary in Papum Pare and Pakke-Kessang districts, making the proposed road crucial for improving accessibility and regional integration.
