Officers from the Ministry of Home Affairs and state officials have been coordinating closely on security-related works, including road construction in remote districts and expansion of telecommunications in border areas.

Khandu expressed appreciation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and the Union Government for what he described as “unwavering support and continued commitment” to Arunachal Pradesh’s development. He highlighted the role of faster clearances and increased budgetary allocations in accelerating project timelines.

Major schemes reviewed during the meeting include the proposed 1,748 km Frontier Highway adjoining the Line of Actual Control, the ongoing upgrades to the Trans Arunachal Highway, and several hydropower ventures intended to expand the region’s renewable energy capacity. State officials said these projects are being pursued not only for local economic benefit but also to bolster national security through improved connectivity.

The meeting underscores the Centre’s sustained engagement with frontier states on infrastructure that has both civilian and strategic significance.
Khandu has repeatedly emphasized that enhanced roads, power and telecom connectivity are central to Arunachal Pradesh’s economic growth and to strengthening India’s defensive posture along its northeastern borders.

𝗜𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗿, 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟭𝟳: Social worker Ramesh Jeke on 16 May 2026, urged authorities to immediately reopen the electric crematorium at the Chimpu cremation-cum-burial ground in the Itanagar Capital Region after reports that the facility’s entrance door had been found locked.

Jeke, chairman of the Arunachal Life Saving Foundation, said the crematorium has remained non-functional and inaccessible despite being established more than four years ago at a cost running into several crores of public funds. “If facilities are created for public use, they must be made available,” he said, stressing that the locked crematorium denies a vital service to bereaved families, many of whom cannot afford private land for burials.

Local residents and community leaders have expressed frustration over the prolonged inactivity of the facility, pointing to maintenance lapses and alleged administrative apathy. According to Jeke, the crematorium represents the only affordable option for numerous families in and around Itanagar, and its continued closure compounds the distress faced during funerals.
