FOREWORD I have much pleasure in introducing the Lohit Distri<^ Gazetteer, the first of a series of District Gazetteers proposed to be brought out by the Government of Arunachal Pradesh. A'Gazetteer is a repository of care­ fully collected and systematically collated information on a wide range of subjects pertaining to a particular area. These information are of con­ siderable importance and interest. Since independence, Arunachal Pra­ desh has been making steady progress in various spheres. This north-east frontier comer of the country has, during these years, witnessed tremen­ dous changes in social, economic, political and cultural spheres. These changes are reflected in die Gazetteers. 1 hope that as a reflex of these changes, the Lohit District Gazetteer would prove to be quite useful not only to the administrators but also to researdi schplars and all those who are keen to know in detail about one of the districts of Arunachal Pradesh.

  • Arunachal Pradesh Yatra by Sanjeev Nayyar July 2014 I Spent Nearly
    Arunachal Pradesh Yatra By Sanjeev Nayyar July 2014 I spent nearly three weeks in Arunachal Pradesh, drove over 3,000 kms starting from Deomali in the east to Tawang in the west the last stop being Gauhati. It was one of the most intense drives and yatras of my life. We covered touristy places, schools, war memorials and border visit. This piece gives you the route that I took, places to see along the way plus links of pictures uploaded on esamskriti. Photo captions have travel tips etc. Travel Route I took a Mumbai-Kolkatta-Dibrugarh flight. If you book tickets in advance then get a cheap fare. INDIGO was bang on time – reliable as always. From Dibrugarh took a Tata Sumo. It is about a 3-4 hour drive to Ramakrishna Mission School, Narrottamnagar in Deomali. From RKM it is about an 8 hour drive to Teju. Route was Deomali- Godumsa-Namsai-Chowkham-Wakro-Parasuram Kund-Tezu. We stopped by at Chowkham, Wakro and Parasramkund. Tezu to Roing - there was a bridge being built over river in September 2013 when we went. If completed Tezu to Roing is about 2-3 hours. We had to take a longer route, took app 4 hours. From Roing Mayurdia is a 2 hour drive, can do a day trip. From Roing takes about 2 hours to reach the banks of the Brahmaputra – crossing the river takes one hour but might need to wait longer depending on boat availability. After crossing the river it is a 1.5 to 2 hour drive to Dibrugarh.

  • Changlang: an Overview, by Sujata Kanungo
    Changlang: An Overview Sujata Kanungo Very few of today’s generation-X would have heard of, or have cared to learn about, Changlang, Miao or Namdapha in the country’s northeastern region. To a commoner, the Northeast and Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) are places that reckon with distance (read distant) and insurgency/ militancy. Ask a man on the street as to where Tinsukia is and one is bound to get a shrug of the shoulder or an answer that would put geography teachers to shame. During one of my field trips regarding a project, I had the opportunity to travel to the picturesque Changlang district via Tinsukia and also to Pangsau Pass and Namdapha (Miao) to name a few. The plethora of information I gathered during the course of my travel and stay at a few of these places only made me richer. What follows is, one can say, a brief from a traveller’s diary. The picturesque Changlang district, covered with hills, lies in the southeastern corner of Arunachal Pradesh. It has an area of 4,662 sq km. Drawing its name from Changlankan, Changlang district has reached its present set-up through a slow and gradual development of administration. The district is bounded by the Tinsukia district of Assam and the Lohit district of Arunachal Pradesh in the north, by the Tirap district in the west and by Myanmar in the southeast. Its geographical location, besides various other factors, has seen Changlang become a haven for insurgent activities in recent times. Except for a few strips of flat land in Changlang, Jairampur, Vijoynagar, Nampong, etc, the district is a hilly area with hills ranging in height from 200 to 4,500 metres.
