Arunachal Pradesh Assembly speaker PD Sona, who represents Mechuka constituency on Wednesday held a meeting with officials of Indian Air Force (IAF) and Shi-Yomi district administration here and discussed various issues pertaining to the ALG and civil terminal, a communique said.

Emphasising the importance of air service in the remote district bordering China, Sona said that once operational, the ALG would not only benefit the people of the district but also the tourists who want to visit the enchanting land of Mechukha valley.

Stating that proper coordination between civil administration and IAF is very crucial for safety and security and dual utilisation of the ALG, Sona suggested the IAF to always get in touch with State administration for any kind of assistance or to sort out issues.

He, however, urged the IAF authorities to give early clearance for construction of the entry and exit gate at the civil terminal so that fixed-wing civil air services are started for the greater interest of the people of the district.
