The Meghalaya Power Minister, Mr G. Mylliemngap, has announced that a number of bore wells would be dug at Mawryngkneng and the neighbouring villages with the help of a drilling rig gifted by UNICEF.

Hoping that the bore wells would help ease the water problems of the region, Mr Mylliemngap, who was addressing a largely attended public meeting on December 14 at Mawryngkneng village, also told the people that the main cause of the water problem in the area was the indiscriminate destruction of forests.
