A special review meeting was convened by Nari-Koyu MLA Tojir Kadu on Saturday to assess the relief and restoration measures in the wake of the recent cloudburst and natural calamities that have severely affected the Nari-Koyu area in Lower Siang district.
The meeting, attended by Deputy Commissioner Gobi Nyicyor, Superintendent of Police Bomken Basar, Additional Deputy Commissioner Ainstein Koyu, and all heads of departments, focused on the government’s top priority of restoring surface connectivity. This is essential for carrying out damage assessment and rehabilitation activities in the flood-ravaged areas.
During the meeting, Kadu informed that an extensive drone survey, along with a detailed assessment of the affected areas, is being undertaken to present an accurate picture of the damage to the central government and seek necessary assistance. He also urged all officers to undertake field visits to the affected locations, noting that road connectivity from both Ledum and Zirdo has been temporarily restored.
Kadu directed the officers to submit factual and comprehensive reports on the extent of damages, so that appropriate relief measures could be planned and timely assistance extended to the affected population. He also appealed to the officers to provide every possible support and solace to the marooned families.
The MLA informed that panchayati raj institutions have been alerted to coordinate with visiting officials and village committees to ensure effective relief and assessment efforts. Additionally, the government is extending a special relief package for the restoration of vital infrastructure damaged by the disaster.
The heads of departments briefed the MLA on the relief and restoration works undertaken so far, outlined their action plans, and highlighted the challenges being encountered in the affected areas.
