Concerned over the unprecedented situation in river Siang, where certain areas are facing drought-like situation while others are reeling under flood, Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Tuesday drew attention of the Union Home Ministry in a letter to Home Minister Rajnath Singh.

He further requested the ministry to depute an inter-ministerial team to visit the flood and drought affected areas of the state so that immediate remedial measures can be taken at the earliest.
