TURA: A village Nokma from South Garo Hills has urged Power Minister, James K Sangma, to look into the matter pertaining to the electrification of three remote villages in the district.
In a memorandum to Sangma, the Nokma lamented that although it has been around 48 years since Meghalaya achieved statehood, the three villages — Awegre, Anchigre and Danagre — continue to live without electricity.
“Our villages continue to remain in a primitive stage without electricity. We urge the power minister to look into the matter and take it up with concerned departments so that we can have electrification and move forward with the rest of the state,” the Nokma stated.
