Tawang MLA Namgey Tsering (NPP) is advocating for the implementation of a high altitude allowance for government employees working in Tawang district.
Tawang, located at an elevation of 10,000 feet, poses significant challenges for employees due to low oxygen levels, physical exertion, and severe weather conditions.
The proposed high altitude allowance would provide additional financial compensation for the government workers in Tawang.
Tsering also highlighted the high cost of living in Tawang and provided updates on the progress of the Vibrant Villages Programme and concerns regarding the Army's use of sacred lands.
