KHONSA, Mar 26: Adviser to Chief Minister, Wanglin Lowangdong and Khonsa (East) MLA Wanglam Sawin on Monday inaugurated the newly created Khela-Bunting anchal block bifurcating the Khela-Lamsa anchal block.
They also inaugurated a 50-bedded hostel and a multipurpose community hall at Khela.
Addressing the gathering on the occasion, Lowangdong said the creation of the new block would expedite development at the grassroots level.
Stating that no circle officers (CO) have been posted at Borduria and Longgo despite creation of all necessary infrastructure, he appealed to the state government to post COs with sufficient staff to the two circles without any further delay.
Replying to a public memorandum submitted to him for water supply for wet rice cultivation, Lowangdong asked the WRD department to prepare an estimate so that an irrigation channel may be constructed before July this year.
He advised the villagers to take up horticulture and agriculture activities, saying that their area was very suitable for such crops.
Sawin called upon the government officers and officials to discharge their duties and work for the development of the CK belt. He said the area/belt is still lagging behind other areas on all fronts, including education and employment.
He advised the children of his constituency to study hard to prepare themselves to compete successfully in any job-oriented examination.
He informed that the chief minister had recently said “There will be no viva voce for interview for government jobs and appointment will be done purely on merit.”
