Meanwhile, Pasighat MLA Kaling Moyong expressed great delight with the rapid expansion in flight services connecting Pasighat with the State capital and other cities in the country.

“Flight services connecting Pasighat to Itanagar under the Dibrugarh-Pasighat-Hollongi route by Alliance Air will ease and shorten travel time for the people and tourists and boost economic activities. I profusely thank the State and Central Governments for making our dream into a reality under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative,” Moyong said in a statement.

The Donyi Polo airport at Hollongi, about 15 km from the State capital Itanagar, was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier this month.
