Home Minister P Chidambaram reiterated that Tawang and other areas of Arunachal Pradesh are its integral parts and will always remain so. He said, India has stated this more than once that Tawang and all of Arunachal Pradesh are part of India and there is no need for repeating it. China claims that the Buddhist town of Tawang and some other areas of Arunachal Pradesh are part of it, but India has always rejected these claims. <br/><br/>Talking to reporters in Itanagar, Mr Chidambaram said, he will visit Tawang tomorrow. Asked if his visit to Arunachal, which borders Myanmar, had anything to do with the much-speculated operations by Myanmarese army against northeast militants, he said, everything cannot be discussed in public. He said, violence and militancy in the<br/><br/>northeast have come down and talks through interlocutors are going on with some major groups including NSCN-IM. Mr Chidambaram, accompanied by officials of his ministry, reviewed the law and order situation in the state,<br/><br/>particularly Tirap and Changlang districts declared disturbed under Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, with army, ITBP and security agencies. <br/><br/>Earlier, he said, Arunachal Pradesh will soon have a rail link and an airport which will help it in exploiting the tourism potential. He said, work on both projects are on and millions of tourists from the world over are waiting to enjoy the pristine natural beauty of the hilly forested border state. Mr Chidambaram said this at a function after launching a bamboo processing unit at Poma model village, near Itanagar.
