DASU demands upgradation of Dambuk SDO Hq

ITANAGAR, Jun 4: The Dibang Adi Students’ Union (DASU), in a memorandum, has demanded MP (Eastern) Ninong Ering to upgrade the Dambuk Sub-Divisional Office headquarter to Independent Additional Deputy Commissioner. DASU placed the demand before the MP during his recent visit to Dambuk.

In its memorandum, DASU informed the MP that former Chief Minister Late Dorjee Khandu had agreed in principle to the demand and directed the district authority to initiate the needful. Though a proposal in this regard has already been forwarded to the district Lower Dibang Valley Deputy Commissioner by Dambuk SDO during October 2011 for further action, the DC has not yet taken any initiative from his/her end which has resulted delay in official process for materializing the demand, the memorandum said.

Alleging sub-standard work and using sub-standard materials in the construction of National Highway under Trans Arunachal highway scheme by the BRTF in Dambuk area, DASU also urged the MP to ensure quality of work by employing a monitoring team/investigation team.

Other demands included early construction of tower from Mebo to Dambuk via Aohali for drawing power from the Ranga Nadi Power Grid.
