The first consignment of 6MT Oranges from Dambuk, also dubbed as ‘Orange Bowl of Arunachal Pradesh’ was flagged-off from Roing, which is likely to reach Dubai by December 30.
Citing the move as a remarkable feat, the Arunachal Chief Minister – Pema Khandu noted that the state administration is placing unwavering efforts to transform Arunachal Pradesh into the ‘fruit bowl of India’.
