State BJP vice-president Tame Phassang on Sunday visited the defunct and dilapidated pre-primary school at Abotani Colony here.

Interacting with locals, Phassang resented the lackadaisical attitude toward the educational institute by the authorities concerned.

“When the State government under the leadership of Chief Minister Pema Khandu is focusing on quality education, such unhealthy scenario of government school is very depressing,” he said while inspecting the school infrastructure.

He criticised the authorities concerned for not giving due importance to the educational institute that was inaugurated by former Health Minister Techi Takar.

“Itanagar is the heart of the state and people here should get proper roads, educational institutes, health, law and order and all other basic amenities,” Phassang said.

He assured the school authority to pursue the matter with the State government as well as to help revive the school within three months. He was accompanied by booth level committee members of BJP.
