Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Sunday said the Narendra Modi government attached priority to the north eastern region and the visit of four union ministers every month bears testimony to this.

The Centre has initiated various steps to provide the region its legitimate facilities on a par with other parts of the country, she said. "The NDA government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi mooted the Act East Policy in place of Look East Policy under which activities in ground reality took long time," the minister said.
