PM announces timeframe for infra projects in Arunachal

Pasighat (Arunachal Pradesh), Oct 3 (PTI) Prime Minister
of India Manmohan Singh Saturday announced timeframe for
infrastructural schemes under the massive Rs 24,000 crore
package he had announced for the state last year.

The over 1500 KM Trans-Arunachal Highway running through
the middle of the hilly, tribal state will be completed by
2013, the prime minister told a Congress election rally here.

The double lane highway would pass through eleven
district headquarters, he said.

Another 850 km two lane highway would connect five
other districts, he said. The state has 16 districts.

"The Trans Arunachal Highway, rail and air connectivity
and construction of two small hydro projects will meet the
requirement of many remote areas, specially villages located
on border areas, suffering from isolation," Singh told the
rally.

Work on the Rs 156 crore rail link between the state
capital of Itanagar and Harmuti in Assam has started and will
be completed by 2014, he said.

There has also been a lot of progress in work on the
greenfield airport being constructed at Itanagar and Advance
Landing Grounds at Tuting, Mechuka and Vijaynagar, Wallong and
Pasighat, the prime minister said. PTI PGD
