Arunachal Pradesh budget to be presented on July 8

Itanagar, Jun 11 Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Tuesday announced that the state budget for 2019-20 financial year will be presented on July 8.

Since the present government has come to power with a huge mandate, the people’s expectations from it are also very high, Khandu said at a meeting with senior officials.

The budget will be presented on July 8, the chief minister said and directed all the heads of departments to finish the budget exercise in war footing.

“When expectations (of the people) are high, the responsibility on us becomes bigger,” he said.

The BJP led by Khandu returned to power winning 41 seats in the 60-member House in the assembly polls held simultaneously with the Lok Sabha election on April 11 in the northeastern state bordering China.
