NEW DELHI, Mar 26:  On its official visit to the National Capital, a team of  Itanagar Municipal Corporation(IMC)   led by Mayor Tame Phassang called on Union Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs, Petroleum & Natural Gas, Hardeep Singh Puri at Nirman Bhawan Delhi today.
During the meeting, the Mayor apprised the Minister on fund requirement for the much-needed ‘Integrated Drainage System’ of the entire Itanagar Municipal Corporation covering 64 Kms. 
 "Itanagar being a subtropical region is prone to heavy rainfall and monsoon stretching beyond 6 to 7 months. Moreover, Itanagar is susceptible to landslide, flash floods and water loggings causing heavy damages to humans and properties, therefore an Integrated Drainage System for entire Itanagar is the need of the hour," reasoned Phassang.
After a threadbare discussion with the team of IMC, the Union Minister gave positive nod and assured to consider the project as well as to sanction funds for the ‘Integrated Drainage System’ within a short period of time. Considering Arunachal Pradesh as one of the special states in the North East for the Government, Puri informed that his Ministry will confer all possible assistance for the all-round development of the state.
Meanwhile, Mayor Tame Phassang expressed his gratitude to the Minister for his kind assurance and assured to utilize the funds judiciously for the betterment of the IMC jurisdiction and state as a whole.
The Mayor was accompanied by Commissioner  IMC - Likha Tejji and several corporators.
