The Arunachal Pradesh Assembly on Monday paid tributes to former minister Talo Mugli, who recently died after a prolonged illness.

Mugli breathed his last at his residence in Raga, Kamle district, on July 18 at the age of 68.

Assembly Speaker Tesam Pongte led the House in an obituary reference for Mugli, who had served as a minister in various capacities under the Gegong Apang and Mukut Mithi governments in the northeastern state.

Mugli was first elected to the assembly in 1990 and later served as a minister for the Public Works and Rural Development departments.

''With his demise, the state has lost a dynamic leader... His death is an irreparable loss for the state,'' the Speaker remarked.

Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein, participating in the obituary reference, termed Mugli as a stalwart politician.

''Mugli was the pioneer in creating the present Kamle district and everybody regarded him for his political acumen,'' Mein stated.

The assembly observed a two-minute silence as a mark of respect for the departed soul.

Later, the Speaker announced that a condolence message would be sent to the bereaved family on behalf of the legislators.
