Itanagar (Arunachal Pradesh) [India], July 11 (HBTV): In response to the severe road connectivity disruptions caused by the recent floods and landslides, Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Thursday convened a high-level meeting to assess the overall damage and strategize immediate restoration efforts across the state. 

Emphasizing the urgency of the situation, the chief minister underscored the importance of swiftly restoring road connectivity, particularly in the flood-affected districts. 

Early restoration of roads damaged by the floods and landslides are crucial in ensuring access to essential services and aid, said Khandu.

Khandu allocated special funds for immediate restoration of the critical road link from Parsi-Parlo to Koloriang, including the bridge over the Kumey River. 

"The restoration plan must be prepared and implemented without delay," Khandu said. 

Immediate restoration work should begin in the Kurung Kumey region and other flood-affected districts cut off due to the incessant rains, he said. 

The chief minister has instructed the departments in concern to ensure timely provision of essential medicines and food supplies to the affected areas.
