The Arunachal Pradesh unit of NCP today appreciated Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Venkaiah Naidu for his decision to launch a new DD channel 'Arun Prabha' from Itanagar in January next year to cater to the needs of North Eastern states.
Naidu, during the 28th State Information Minister's Conference (SIMCON) held in New Delhi on December 10, announced launching of the channel.
"The channel will show the richness, variety and diversity of the local culture and seamlessly integrate these states with the rest of the country," NCP spokesman Nima Sange said here.
He said the party is of the view that the state with immense potential could be a favourite film shooting destination of the country with its beautiful landscape and rich cultural heritage of the varied ethnic tribes.
The new channel would provide benefits to the youths of the state in the field of film making and documentary on socio cultural activities.
Former chief minister Dorjee Khandu wrote two letters during July and September 2007 to the then Union I&B Minister P R Dasmunshi for launching of a separate DD news channel from Arunachal Pradesh.
