GUWAHATI: Nongpoh MLA, Mayral Born Syiem on Monday inspected the site at Nongpoh town where drains and culverts would be widened in a bid to prevent floods during summer.

Syiem was accompanied by officials of National Highways Authority of India and the revenue department of Ri Bhoi district.

“An amount of over Rs 6 crore has been sanctioned for widening of drains and culverts and work will start immediately so as to prevent rain-induced floods that occur in Nongpoh town during summer,” Syiem told The Shillong Times on Tuesday.
