ITANAGAR :  A delegation of the All Arunachal Pradesh Women’s Welfare Society (APWWS), led by its president Jarjum Gamlin Ete, on Sunday inspected the Working Women’s Hostel and Destitute Home campus at Chimpu and expressed concern over alleged encroachment of the property and damage to the facilities.

The two buildings, constructed by the Women and Child Development Department on a 2.68-acre plot acquired in 2000 at a cost of around ₹13 crore, were thoroughly inspected by the delegation.

During the visit, the team found that some bathroom fittings had reportedly been stolen from the Destitute Home building.

Expressing concern over the condition of the campus, APWWS president Jarjum Gamlin Ete alleged that the property had been encroached upon from all sides.

“It is doubtful if the whole area is still 2.68 acres, whereas we are paying revenue for the area,” she said.

She stressed the need for a fresh land survey to ascertain whether the campus still retains its original area and to safeguard the property from further encroachment.

The delegation included APWWS assistant general secretary Dojum Mara, registrar Indira Pabin, finance secretary Techi Hunmai, chief coordinator Mamoni Riang and law coordinator Geyir Potom.
