LONGWA VILLAGE
It is among the biggest villages in the district. As the village straddles the international boundary line, one half of the Angh’s house falls within the Indian Territory and the other half in Myanmar. Here, literally, the totem pillar that juts out above the roof divides the house into two countries and the Angh takes his meals in India and sleeps in Myanmar. There are many young people of the village serving in the Myanmarese army and that country runs even schools in the village portion that lies under its jurisdiction. However, the Angh and the Village Council Chairman administers the whole village. An interesting feature of this village is that the former Angh of the village had 60 wives/concubines and his jurisdiction extends up to Myanmar and Arunachal Pradesh.
The Department of Tourism has a tourist rest house in this village.
