Along with the rest of hill State of Arunachal Pradesh, the land of the rising sun, the people of Bordumsa Circle in Changlang district too joined the celebrations of the 31st Statehood Day organized here in Bordumsa general ground with a day-long colorful programme at the initiative of the Sub-Divisional administration.
The celebration was kicked off here on Tuesday morning with the unfurling of the National Flag amidst a large gathering of people from various walks of life.
Addressing the people of the sub-division and State as a whole after his warm greetings on the auspicious occasion, Sabadam Tayang, the Additional Deputy Commissioner (In-charge), Bordumsa while attending the event as the Chief Guest spoke about the significance of the day and told that Arunachal Pradesh was granted statehood on this day in 1987.
Tayong also threw ample light on the journey of the State since its inception through various thick and thin to be a full-fledged State and recognized globally for different meaningful reasons.

Laying emphasis on maintaining the solidarity and integrity among the people inhabiting the geography peacefully promoting a sense of fraternity since ages Tayang said, “Unless the people stand united and fight the common evils that are detrimental to society, achieving the set goals would remain just a utopian dream.” He also underlined the status of the ongoing Trans-Arunachal Highway.
Sharing the pains and inconvenience of the general people, Tayang, while inaugurating an office-cum-residential building of Tax and Excise in the township, urged the officials of various departments of the Sub-division to ensure regularity, punctuality, commitment and allegiances towards their people and discharge their respective duty in true spirits without acting contrary to the expectations of the people. In the wake of Panchayat elections slated for next few months, Tayong took the opportunity to urge all corners and stand united to help the State machineries realize the ends peacefully with utmost sincerity maintaining common decorum in the process.
