TRANSPORT & COMMUNICATION
(ROAD, AIR & RAIL).
Prior to independence, no motorable road in the district was
existed, Porter tracks were the only means of transportation
of goods in the remote areas. Therefore, at the time of opening
of Administrative centres in various places of the districts,
top priority was given to porter tracks and mule paths for
speedy development of the area. In the initial stage, these
existing tracks were improved for the easy movement of Govt.
Officials and porters from one place to another. Thereby,
regular porters were recruited in the form of Agency Labour
Corps(ALC). These porters were the back-bone of the administration
who carried their task under the most difficult geographical
conditions. When the administrative activities increased and
new administrative centres were established in the far-flung
area of the districts, it was felt necessary to construct
roads for better communications and efficient discharge of
administrative function for execution of various development
programmes. Hence, attention for road construction was paid
only during 1951-52.
The construction of first road in Lower Subansiri
district from Kimin to Ziro (94kms) was started in 1952-53
by the Army Engineers and was opened for vehicular-traffic
in the year 1958. Later on, it was widened and blacktop by
the Border Roads Development Organisation(BRTF) and also connected
Raga circle via Tamen. The construction work of Ziro-Palin
road (102 km) was started in 1967 and was opened for light
vehicles transport in the year 1972. A good number of roads
such as Tamen-Tali road, Rural link roads and other roads
are under construction and the same are expected to be completed
soon.
As per records available, at present, the
total length of road in Lower Subansiri and Kurung Kumey districts
are 966.237 kms. Out of which 364.520 kms. are under PWD,
528.375 kms. under BRTF, 72.452 kms. under RWD and 0.890 kms.
under forest. Out of seventeen administrative centres, nine
circles, viz; Ziro,Yachuli, Raga, Palin, Sangram, Koloriang,
Nyapin,Dollungmukh and Pistana are connected with the District
Headquarter of Lower Subansiri by roads. Remaining eight circles
viz; Tali, Pipsorang, Damin, Parsi-Parlo, Chambang, Sarli,
Kamporijo and Yangte are yet to be connected by roads. Regular
passenger services from District HQ, Ziro-North Lakhinpur,
Ziro-Itanagar, Ziro-Daporijo, Ziro-Sangram, Ziro-Koloriang
and Ziro-Guwahati are being provided by State Transport and
private buses. During the year 2001-2002, total of 197 vehicles
were registered including 2-wheelers in the District. North
Lakhimpur is the nearest Rail-head of the Lower Subansiri
district, the distance of which from the district Hq, Ziro
is about 115 kms.
In the districts, the fair-weather landing
ground at Old Ziro has been functioning since 1952. It was
made all –weather Air field by 1967 and Vayudoot service
is being introduced in the year, 1985-86. Another landing
ground at Nyapin is also functioning. Elementary landing facilities
for Helicopter area also exists at Tali, Chambang, Sarli,
Koloriang and Damin. Lilabari (North Lakhimpur) is the nearest
Airport, the distance of which from Ziro is about 125 Kms.
6(six) numbers of Helipad/Dropping zone are functioning in
the district.

POST
AND TELEGRAPH
Prior to the opening of a sub-post office at Ziro, all mails
meant for offices and staff used to be delivered at the then
Base office, Kimin, served by the post office at North Lakhimpur.
The Base office at Kimin in turn was dispatching the mails
in the interiors through Dak-Runners. The branch post office
at Kimin was established in 1952. To facilitate quick contacts,
all the important administrative centres were provided with
wireless Transmitting Sets operated by Assam Rifles though
some of the administrative centres including the district
HQ have now been linked with motorable roads, yet system of
carrying the mails by Dak- Runners is still in existence due
to limited roads and border situations.
In 1959, a sub-post office was opened at Ziro. Later on, this
sub-post office was provided with telegraphic facility. As
the intensity of work increased, new branch post offices were
opened at different administrative centres. As on 31.3.2001,
the district has one number of sub-post office with telegraphic
facility, one number of sub-post office without Tele facility,
and 20 numbers of EDBPO without Tele-facilities at different
administrative centres are functioning. Six numbers at Ziro
town and 20 numbers at different administrative centres were
fixed with letter boxes for public convenience.

ELECTRICITY
AND POWER
Lower Subansiri and Kurung Kumey district has vast power potentials.
The topography and climatic condition create innumerable perennial
rivers and streams, which are capable of releasing Hydel Electric
power for economic development. However, Hydro-electric potential
of the district has largely remained untapped. In Lower Subansiri,
the first work of electrification of Ziro town-ship was started
in the year 1960 with the installation of one 100 k.w. Diesel
Generating Power Station,in1966 at Koloriang, in 1967 at Nyapin
administrative circles and in 1967 at Michi-Bamin, Hija and
Mudang-Tage villages have also been provided electricity by
installing diesel generating sets with 6.6 and 15 k.w. installed
capacity respectively.
The first ever Micro-Hydel of the district was commissioned
on 24-9-1977 at Mai (Ph-I) with installed capacity of 2000
k.w. The Mai Ph-II Micro-Hydel was commissioned during 1984
with installed capacity of 1000 k.w. The Tago Hydel project
with installed capacity of 4510 k.w. was commissioned during
March,1992.The work of Ranganadi Hydro Electric project is

M.W. is for D.G.sets . Ziro town-ship and 295 villages of
the district have been electrified so far among 595 villages
as per 1991 Census.
As per record available, the total electricity generated in
the districts during the year 2001-2002 was 14.237496 Million

in 1946. In 1948, Balipara Forest Division was established
for protection, afforestation and exploitation of forests.
This Forest Division covered both Subansiri and Kameng districts.
Due to shortage of technical personnel, full-fledged functioning
of this division could start from 1955 under one Divisional
Forest Officer. In february 1962, the original Balipara Forest
Division was divided into Kameng and Subansiri Forest Divisions
to extend the forest activities into the interior places.
Again in 1970, the Subansiri Forest Division was bifurcated
into Banderdewa and Hapoli Forest Division. Later, Hq. of
Hapoli Forest Division was shifted to Hapoli(Ziro).

food in their diet. In rural areas almost every family domesticates
mithun, cow, sheep, goat, pig and poultry. The animal husbandary
activities for the development of livestock are mainly divided
into three aspects :-
(a) Animal health coverage
(b) Livestock developments and production and
(c)

(a)
ANIMAL HEALTH COVERAGE :-
The objective of Veterinary Dispensaries and Veterinary Aid
Centres are to provide an adequate and appropriate Veterinary
aid to the livestock and poultry population through out the

Dispensaries are functioning in the district, which are located
at Siro, Ziro Town, Yachuli, Palin, Nyapin, Koloriang, Damin,
Tali and Raga.

Dispensary which was opened during 1984-85 and one District
Diagnostic Laboratory at Ziro.

Due to the availability of abundant green pasture, the district
is conducive for rearing cattle, pig, poultry, Mithun and
Goat. One fodder farm at Yachuli has been functioning in the
district and are supplying green fodder to cattle breeding
farm. Development of pasture land is also undertaken simultaneously
with feed and fodder development programme.
In the district, great emphasis has been laid on extensive
cross-breeding programme to improve the local livestock for
better and more production of milk, meat, eggs etc.
To enhance the Animal Husbandary activities in the districts,
distribution of breeding Bulls, exotic Dairy cows, pigs, sheeps
etc. are being undertaken every year to progressive and deserving
local farmers on subsidy basis for cross breeding and multiplication.
For the development of "Mithun" an animal reared
by the people for its socio-economic value is cross-breeds
as Dairy Animals. At present, 6 Cattle up-grading centres
have been setup in the district, out of which 3 centres are
in Yachuli circle, 1 in Pistana circle, 1 in Raga circle and
1 in Palin circle respectively.
Besides, one Diary/Cattle Farm, one Goat Farm, and one Chick
Rearing Centre are functioning in the district. The poultry
farm and chick rearing centre distribute poultry nits to the
farmers on subsidy basis under PLAN.
(c)
