Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), CM Khandu said, “In view of the upcoming proposed visit of His Holiness to the district, chaired a meeting to review the preparations today at Tawang.”

The meeting was attended by MLAs- Tsering Tashi, Tsering Lhamu including DoKAA Chairperson Jambey Wangdi, representatives of Monpa Mimang Tsokpa, and other officials.
