Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Nabam Tuki today claimed that the pace of development in the state in the last four years under him has been "unprecedented".

"We did not make so much progress in the past 30 years that we are doing now ... It was unprecedented.

"I congratulate all officers and people at the ground level who have made it happen," he said reviewing the on-going programmes being implemented under Special Plan Allocation (SPA) in the state.

An official communique said Tuki during the review insisted on continuous monitoring by concerned heads of the executing agencies.

He, however, expressed concern over some projects being delayed due to litigations and asked executing agencies to resolve all issues so that development of the state did not suffer.
 

Tuki asked all government departments to conduct an audit of government land and submit reports on status whether possession is secured and take necessary remedial measures if not, the communique added.

In the last seven years 2141 projects have been sanctioned under SPA in the state of which about half were taken up after Tuki took over as chief minister of the state in November 2011.

Rs 483272.68 lakhs has been sanctioned for these projects and Rs 361506.66 lakhs has been already utilized. The utilization certificates of the completed projects have been forwarded to the Centre.
