The camp was organised by the Capital Complex district administration in association with All Arunachal Pradesh Public Transport Federation (AAPPTF) and State Bank of India.
Capital Complex DC Prince Dhawan requested the members present as well as the transport federation to disseminate the schemes to the remote areas. “With meagre premiums, these insurance schemes can be of extreme help in cases of untoward incidents and hospitalisation,” he said.
He further said that the camp will continue for two more days in Itanagar and a separate camp for Naharlagun would be organised in the first week of January. He appealed to people beyond the transport federation members to enrol themselves for these schemes at these camps.
AAPPTF President Dobin Sonam thanked the CS and the district administration for bringing the benefits of government schemes to the needy sections. He pledged to ensure maximum enrolment of members of the transport federation.
