He informed that connectivity in the region, especially in Nyapin-Sangram and Koloriang assembly constituencies, will take a huge fillip after the Frontier Highway is executed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Frontier Highway that would connect Nafra in West Kameng to Vijaynagar in Changlang, Khandu said, the tender for the same has been floated except for a the stretches in East Kameng, Kurung Kumey and Vijaynagar portion in Changlang due to land acquisition issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis stretch of 391 kms is in the final stages of approval and I am personally following up with the Centre,\u201d Khandu said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He further revealed that, the state government will pursue with the central government to declare Kurung Kumey and Kra-Dadi districts as tourist circuits. He believes, once these roads are complete Kurung Kumey in particular can reap huge benefits of the flourishing tourism industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Kurung Kumey and Kra-Dadi have been included in the Prime Minister\u2019s TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyan amongst the 347 districts across 33 states and union territories, Khandu fervently appealed all to attend the health camps that would be soon organized under the abhiyan across the two districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
