[4] Shi Yomi district is home to the people of Adi (Bokar, Libo, Ramo), Tagin, and Memba tribes.

[8][9] 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.

[10][11] 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).

[13] Government of Arunachal Pradesh has invited bids from private airlines to operate a 9-seater fixed-wing air service which will not be under the UDAN scheme.

[13] Shi Yomi district's Mechuka is gradually becoming a popular tourist destination in Arunachal Pradesh due to its scenic beauty, exotic tribes, gentle hills, snow-capped mountains, and Siom River.

[14] The major tourist attraction here is the 400-year-old Samten Yongcha monastery located at Neh Pemashubu on a hilltop 13 km westernmost of Mechukha.
