Transforming Itanagar: Redevelopment Efforts Aimed at Modernized Living

Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu announced significant developments in Itanagar's urban landscape on Monday, commencing phase-II of the housing redevelopment project. The initiative aims to replace outdated residential structures with modern, earthquake-resilient flats, pushing towards a more organized and aesthetically pleasing city.

Khandu emphasized the need for both employee and public housing, asserting that each flat would be safe and dignified. With a stern warning to land encroachers, he underlined the importance of planning and discipline in urban transformation to achieve a collective vision for a proud Itanagar.

The redevelopment initiative, costing Rs 80 crore, involves constructing 116 modern, well-facilitated flats based on the G+3 format with eco-friendly amenities. Scheduled for completion by April 30, 2027, the project underscores providing better living spaces while preventing illegal land occupations.
