The forum recalled that the officer in-charge, 103 RCC New Sonowal, Jetender Dewari, at a joint meeting with the village councils of Chungtiayimsen, Moayimti, Aokum, Japu and Chungliyimsen and its office bearers on May 13, 2018, assured for early maintenance of the road up to Tzurang bridge in the next phase of their work.
However, the organisation rued that the stretch of the road between Chungtiayimsen and Tzurang bridge has been left unattended till date.
