### Public Utilities

* **Electricity:** The Department of Power, Government of Arunachal Pradesh, is the primary distributor of electricity. The region relies heavily on hydroelectric power generated from the state's abundant river networks. * **Water Supply:** The Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) manages water supply. The water is primarily sourced from local mountain streams and rivers (such as the Senki River), treated, and distributed to the municipality. * **Waste Management:** The Itanagar Municipal Corporation (IMC) is responsible for solid waste management. Recent initiatives under the Smart City Mission have introduced better door-to-door collection, mechanized sweeping, and the construction of a solid waste treatment plant, though challenges remain due to the hilly terrain. * **Telecommunications:** Major telecom operators like Airtel, Jio, BSNL, and Vodafone Idea provide mobile network and broadband services. BSNL provides foundational landline and broadband connectivity. * **Gas:** LPG is primarily supplied through local agencies partnered with national distributors like Indane and HP Gas via cylinder delivery.
