JOWAI: The Meghalaya Border Area Development Director has lodged a complaint with Pynursla Police against one Dawsing Tynsong- the contractor who had constructed the collapsed foot bridge at Shnongpdeng in Jaintia Hills.
The foot bridge was newly constructed to link villages between East Khasi Hills and Jaintia Hills. The bridge was constructed with a view to benefit the farmers of the nearby area.
