In a pivotal move to chart the course of Arunachal Pradesh’s development trajectory, Chief Minister Pema Khandu chaired a high-level cabinet meeting aimed at deliberating and finalizing the state's key development priorities for the coming fiscal period. The meeting brought together senior ministers, department heads, and planning officials to streamline the government’s vision for sustainable growth, with a strong emphasis on infrastructure expansion and governance reforms.
