DAPORIJO, 14 Oct: The state government has decided to rename the Government Higher Secondary School (GHSS), Daporijo in Upper Subansiri district after former MLA late Punji Mara in recognition of the late leader's contributions to public life and regional development.

While welcoming the move, the Leyu Welfare Society stated that the recognition would serve as a lasting tribute to his legacy and inspire future generations to follow the path of dedicated public service.

It expressed appreciation to Chief Minister Pema Khandu and his cabinet colleagues for approving the proposal and honouring the memory of the late leader.
