The Tangla Town Committee workers were seen cleaning the roads. Residents along the Tangla-Bhergaon road said if the high-profile visit was not scheduled during this time, the road would have remained the same without any immediate relief.
“Though we are happy that local authorities have woken up from deep slumber with the proposed visit of the Assam Governor,” Bappi Saha, a local shopkeeper told Northeast Now.
When contacted, Tangla Town Committee officials also confirmed that the repair and cleaning work is very much related to the Governor’s visit.
