General19809 sections

This law reorganizes the administrative boundaries of the Union Territory of Arunachal Pradesh by creating new districts and renaming existing ones. It specifically establishes districts such as East Kameng, West Kameng, Upper Subansiri, Lower Subansiri, Papum Pare, and Pakke Kessang by transferring specific areas and sub-divisions from older districts into these new administrative units. The Act matters because it aims to improve local governance and administration by ensuring that the state's geographical divisions align with its political and administrative needs, making it easier for the government to manage the region effectively.
