PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT

Introduction

Tezu Circle, PWD, is one of the oldest Circle which was created in 1983. At the time of its inception, the circle had three divisions viz.- Tezu, Namsai and Roing divisions. In order to enable rapid development in infrastructures such as roads, bridges and buildings etc., Anini Division was created by carving out from Roing Division in June 1996 with jurisdiction of works in Dibang Valley District and Hayuliang Division was created carving out from Tezu Division in November, 1998 with jurisdiction of works in Anjaw District.

Tezu P.W. Division is one of the oldest P.W. Divisions in Arunachal Pradesh. Due to the after effects of earthquake in 15/08/1950, the then Frontier Division at Sadiya was compelled to shift its establishment at Tezu and this Division was initially established as Lohit C.P.W. Division in 1954. Later Lohit Division was renamed as Tezu Division during CPWD era, prior to creation of Arunachal Pradesh Public Works Department.

Tezu P.W. Division takes care of infrastructure development activities of two administrative Circles viz. Tezu and Sunpura under Lohit District. The works under the jurisdiction of Wakro administrative Circle are taken care of by Namsai P.W. Division.
