Itanagar: Youth and community-based organisations of Arunachal expressed resentment over the Border Roads Organisation’s (BRO) howler of presenting Kimin town in Arunachal Pradesh’s Papum Pare district as part of Assam.
The development comes just days after Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s visit to Kimin, an ADC headquarters in Papum Pare district, to inaugurate the 20-km-long, two-lane road from Kimin to Potin.
During the inauguration, it was noticed that several signboards displaying Arunachal’s name were covered with white paste/paper, while the Defence Minister office’s Twitter handle also mentioned Kimin as being a part of Assam. A few mainstream media organisations had also carried the story mentioning Kimin to be a part of Assam instead of Arunachal.
