Shi Yomi district
Shi Yomi district is one of the 28 districts of Arunachal Pradesh state in northeastern India. Shi-Yomi district was created on 9 December 2018 by dividing the West Siang district when northern areas along the Tibet border were made into a newly created Shi-Yomi district and the southern areas remained the part-truncated West Siang district. It has its headquarters at Tato.
It was once a part of the West Siang district.
After Mechuka and Monigong, the McMahon line separates Indian territory and Chinese territory.
Shi Yomi district is home to the people of Adi (Bokar, Libo, Ramo), Tagin, and Memba tribes. Religions practiced in the valley include Donyi Polo, Tibetan Buddhism, and Christianity. Scheduled Tribes are 12,202 (91.68%) of the population.
At the time of the 2011 census, 71.83% of the population speaks Adi, 17.33% Bhotia, 3.77% Tagin, 2.17% Monpa, and 2.08% Hindi as their first language. The languages spoken in Shi-Yomi district are Adi, Bokar, Libo, Ramo, Tagin, and Memba.
The district was divided into four administrative units namely Mechuka, Tato, Pidi, and Monigong. Mechuka is part of the Arunachal East Lok Sabha constituency.
Prior to the Trans-Arunachal Highway construction of the modern road, the only access was via an airstrip, used by the Indian Air Force to supply goods to local people. Another strategic road was constructed by BRO in 2017 in the Kurung Kumey district between Huri (which is already connected to Koloriang) and Sarli after heavy construction equipment was heli-airlifted from Ziro, which will enable Koloriang-Huri-Sarli-Taliha-Daporijo connectivity by facilitating the construction of the remaining Sarli-Taliha section. Once Taliha-Daporijo, Taliha-Nacho, Taliha-Tato, headquarter of Shi Yomi district, were completed, all of which were under construction in February 2021 while facing land acquisition issues, it will provide the strategic frontier connectivity from Seppa-Tamsang Yangfo-Sarili-Koloriang-Sarili-Nacho (and beyond to Daporijo-Taksing)-Tato (and beyond to Mechuka-Gelling and Aalo).
The Indian Air Force maintains an airstrip, known as the Advanced Landing Ground (ALG) in Mechuka. The airstrip is used frequently to bring in vital supplies from cities in Assam via Antonov-32 aircraft and helicopters. The runway was renovated, strengthened, upgraded to a concrete runway, and extended to 4,700 feet in 2017 by the government. The area has a significant military presence, which also creates some employment opportunities for civilians.
