Page Template:Visible anchor/styles.css has no content.Itanagar capital complex is administered by its own Deputy Commissioner,[3] and contains the three circles of Itanagar, Naharlagun, and Banderdewa.[5][6]
In January 2013 the Arunachal Pradesh government approved the creation of a "Capital district".[7] The capital complex is currently treated as its own district by some government departments, the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises for example,[8] and the Arunachal Pradesh State portal in particular.[9] But The Arunachal Pradesh reorganization of district Act of 1980 with the latest amendments does not list Itanagar capital complex as a district.[10]
