 TURA: The United Hajong Community Development Organization (UHCDO) has urged Chief Minister Conrad Sangma to look into the transportation problem being faced by the people of Marok village under Selsella C&RD Block in West Garo Hills.

In a statement issued here on Monday, President of the organization, B Ch Hajong sought the construction of an all weather road from Kamalapara to Marok village to ease the problems faced by the villagers.

Hajong said that Anti Poverty and Employment Generation Programmes under Pradhan Mantri Gramodaya Yojana was launched way back in 2000-01 by the central government to address such issues and that many nearby villages had benefited from it. However, Hajong added that Marok village which is only a few kilometres distance from Selsella Block has so far been neglected.

“I therefore urged Chief Minister Conrad Sangma to look into the matter and construct a pucca road to the village. I request him to take up the matter with concerned departments so that the long overdue problem of the villagers can be addressed,” Hajong said.
