Nampong, Jan 22: Governor Brig. (Dr.) B. D. Mishra (Retd.) graced the finale of the 8th edition of Pangsau Pass International Festival (PPIF) here on Wednesday.
Governor complimented the people of Changlang district for the grand festival which started in 2007 with a small beginning but followed the great vision of the  former Speaker Late Setong Sena. He called upon the Lok Sabha MP who was present on the occasion and local MLA Laisam Simai to further expand PPIF, adding that Pangsau Pass Border Trade Centre must be made an international attraction. He said that to expedite developmental process, government officials must work with transparency, accountability, honesty and review their actions for mid-course correction if needed and appealed people for cooperation to ensure peace and unity in state. He also called upon  youths to make themselves self-reliant by entrepreneurial initiatives to become job provider instead of job seekers. Emphasizing on women empowerment, Governor called for more attention on girl child education and appealed people to send every child above the age of six to schools. 

Earlier on the day, Governor accompanied by Deputy Speaker Tesam Pongte, Tapir Gao, Laisam Simai, Deputy Commissioner RK Sharma and SP Mihim Gambo visited the Pangsau Pass International Festival Village ‘Tikhak Taipy’ where children and village folks presented a cultural programme including log drum display.
