Arunachal CM orders multi-level probe into frontier highway issues in East Kameng

Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister on January 6 said that the state government has initiated multiple measures to address the problems related to the Frontier Highway project in East Kameng district, including administrative reviews and an anti-corruption investigation.

Interacting with the media, the Chief Minister said a one-man committee had earlier been constituted to assess the situation concerning the Frontier Highway. He informed that the committee has submitted its report to the state government, which is currently under examination.

In parallel, the Chief Minister said the matter has also been referred to the Anti-Corruption Department, which is conducting a separate investigation into the alleged irregularities linked to the project. He added that the government is treating the issue with seriousness and has adopted a multi-pronged approach to ensure accountability.

From the state government’s side, four additional committees have been constituted to re-assess various aspects of the project, including implementation and oversight mechanisms. The Chief Minister said these committees will independently review the findings and submit their recommendations.

Assuring strict action, he said anyone found guilty during the investigations would be held accountable as per law. “Those responsible will not be spared,” the Chief Minister said, reiterating the government’s commitment to transparency and proper execution of key infrastructure projects in the state.
