The Arunachal Rising campaign led by Chief Minister Pema Khandu reached Vijaynagar, the remotest circle in Changlang district on Friday.
On his arrival at the Vijaynagar advance landing ground, members of Yobin and Gorkha community warmly welcomed the chief minister and his team.

The chief minister also inaugurated the circuit house and office of the extra assistant commissioner and dedicated the projects to the people of Vijaynagar.
He said these projects were built under Special Plan Assistance by PWD, whose funding got discontinued from the Centre but were completed through State’s resources.
The chief minister and his team also visited the Sarkar Aapke Dwar camp organized by the district administration. He visited the stalls put up by several government departments and the banks and interacted with the officials and the beneficiaries.
He lauded the administration for reaching out to people in this remote area through such camps and for enrolling more than 22000 beneficiaries across the district.
