DyCM urges DCs to ensure sustainability of govt projectsArunachal Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein has urged the deputy commissioners of the districts to focus on the factors that will ensure the sustainability of any project developed by the government. Many good infrastructures have been developed by the government but due to non-sustainability of the project, they get damaged sooner or later, Mein said while addressing the conference of deputy commissioners on sustainable development goals here on Friday. The deputy chief minister informed that most of the government infrastructures are of North East Frontier Tract (NEFA) days and are in dilapidated conditions which need to be replaced and re-constructed.

Mein disclosed that the State Government under Khandu had taken various reforms including administrative, financial and transparency, and added that the government is planning to bring-in more financial reform in connection with movement of files for financial concurrence by fast-tracking the process given that all the check-lists provided by the Department of Planning and Finance are fully furnished.
