Spokesman of the five NGOs, Richard Nonglang, who is also the WYWC general secretary, said, “The deplorable condition of the road is causing severe inconvenience to the people including patients of the area as it also leads to Nongstoin Civil Hospital.”
PWD officials are all but mute spectators to the plight of the people, he added.
