Guwahati: Charmed by the scenic splendour of Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh, Union Home Minister P Chidambaram on Saturday said this border town of India had been fittingly termed by writers as the "hidden paradise on earth".
Chidambaram is in Arunachal Pradesh to review the insurgency situation. For many years, the districts of Tirap and Changlang have been a safe passage to the militants of the Northeast to sneak into and sneak out of Myanmar.
The Union Home Minister attributed the huge inflow of foreign and domestic tourists to the state to its unique unexplored beauty and colourful people. He encouraged the state government to further boost this industry so that it could generate employment avenues and augment the economy of the region.
Chidambaram said, "Meaningful development is pacing up in the state and I hope the infrastructure bottleneck, which has been affecting the state in developmental spheres, will soon be addressed".
During a meeting with elected representatives and public leaders at Khonsa in Tirap district, the Union Home minister called for a concerted effort to pave the way for development. P.Chidambaram revealed that he had already asked the state government to come up with a special plan for development of the two districts in all spheres.
The Union Home Minister said New Delhi had adopted zero tolerance policy to militancy.
