YINGKIONG, 17 Aug: Local MLA Alo Libang emphasized the importance of creating durable public assets that address people's needs.
He was speaking after inaugurating three major development projects, including a Material Recovery Facility (MRF) here in Upper Siang district.
Developed under the Swachh Bharat Mission, the facility will strengthen solid waste management in the township through systematic segregation and recovery of recyclable materials, contributing towards improved cleanliness, environmental protection and scientific management of municipal waste.
This was followed by the inauguration of the Vendor Market at Simar Market. The facility has been developed to provide local vendors and small traders with an organised and suitable marketplace, while facilitating orderly commercial activities and better management of urban public spaces.
Later, Libang inaugurated the academic building of the GHSS Yingkiong.
Addressing the gathering at GHSS Yingkiong, Libang recalled his early days as a student of the school and highlighted its significant contribution to the educational journey of Upper Siang. He said that over the years, the institution has produced countless doctors, technocrats, educationists and prominent public leaders who are serving or have served the state in various important capacities.
He advised the students to maintain discipline, integrity and sincerity in their studies and to remain focused on building bright and meaningful careers. He further encouraged the students to uphold the rich legacy of the institution and contribute positively to society in the years ahead.
Speaking on the overall development initiatives, Libang expressed satisfaction over the completion and commissioning of the three projects. He emphasised continued coordination among government departments, the district administration, elected representatives and the public to accelerate development in Yingkiong and Upper Siang district.
Deputy commissioner Talo Jerang stressed the importance of their proper utilisation, operation and maintenance to ensure that the assets created by the government continue to serve the public effectively for years to come.
DDSE Duhon Tekseng said that GHSS Yingkiong was established in 1958 and has since remained an alma mater to numerous intellectuals and distinguished personalities who have held or continue to hold responsible positions in government institutions and public life. He also called for renewed focus on quality education, discipline and academic excellence. (DIPRO)
