Pangin, April 24:
In a major boost to infrastructure and public services, Siang district witnessed a significant wave of development on Tuesday, with projects worth ₹196.44 crore being launched and inaugurated across key sectors including education, connectivity, housing, and public safety.
A series of foundation stones were laid for critical infrastructure initiatives aimed at improving administrative efficiency and community welfare. These include government staff accommodation, a Dere (community hall) at New Hiram Riga, a women police station at Pangin, and multi-purpose cultural facilities. Several education-focused projects were also initiated, such as hostel buildings, staff quarters, additional classrooms, and academic-cum-administrative blocks at GHSS and GSS in Pangin and Boleng.
Road infrastructure received considerable attention, with township road improvements planned for Boleng and Pangin under CMCSRDP-II, along with the construction of the Yibuk–Lising road (Phase-I). Boundary walls and staff quarters for schools across the district were also included in the development agenda.
In addition, 100-bed capacity hostel buildings (19 units) under the DAJGUA scheme are set to be developed across various districts of Arunachal Pradesh, further strengthening educational infrastructure.
Several completed projects were simultaneously inaugurated, marking immediate benefits for residents. These include the Government Industrial Training Institute (ITI) at Pangin, a double-lane CC pavement road connecting BRTF Rengo Road to District Hospital in Boleng, a 70-metre Bailey Bridge over the Subbung River on the Dosing–Pareng–Yibuk route, and a new fire station at Boleng (Rengo).
The initiatives collectively aim to enhance connectivity, strengthen institutional infrastructure, and improve public service delivery in Siang district, reflecting a focused push toward balanced regional development.
