Shylla also convened a meeting in Jowai with all heads of departments and asked them to assess the damage under his constituency.
“I have directed them to expedite the assessment and estimate the cost so that it can be presented before the government for sanction, particularly the repair of both the highway and state roads,” Shylla said.
Shylla also informed that though the damage has not been properly assessed, it is estimated that the loss will be around Rs 14 to 15 crore, adding that he is hopeful that the government will sanction the funds immediately for repair work.
