KANUBARI, Nov 7: Addressing the villagers of Banfera under Kanubari circle on Monday, APSCIT & e-Governance Chairman cum MLA Gabriel Denwang Wangsu called upon the villagers to settle down at the foothill areas for sustainable economic development.
Wangsu, who was on a month-long tour to his constituency to take stock of the development activities, also visited the new settlement areas of Wunli, Laho and Pamtingshe under Banfera, the paramount village of Kanubari.
Wangsu informed the villagers that one of the new settlements at Pamtingshe has been electrified and water supply was also sanctioned. Other settlement areas would also be provided with basic amenities, he said while assuring all assistance for the development and growth of the new villages.
