Unfurling the national flag on the occasion of the 74th Independence
Day, Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Saturday launched
the "Arunachal Pradesh Challenge Entrepreneurship Programme" to boost
entrepreneurship among the people and to set up more industrial units in
the state.
Khandu said the state government's scheme "Chief
Minister Comprehensive Roads Plan 2019 to 2024" would strengthen and
broaden the road infrastructure in the state.
Addressing a small
gathering on Independence Day at IG Park in Itanagar, the Chief
Minister said the state is taking appropriate steps to contain the
COVID-19 pandemic. Arunahcal was among the first few states in the
country to follow the mandatory institutional quarantine and do the
RT-PCR test on all the people who returned to the state from different
parts of the country, he added.
Arunachal Pradesh, he said, has
the lowest Covid positivity rate among all the eight north-eastern
states and ranked in the top six in the country in terms of tests per
million population. Later, Khandu also flagged off 10 Advanced
Life-Saving Ambulances.
