The meeting, chaired by DC AK Singh, discussed various problems of the newly set up district in terms of residential quarters, early selection of a permanent site for the HQ, and sharing of engineering offices located in different subdivisions of the district.
Leaders of the Lower Siang Elite Forum, the Galo Welfare Society, the Ramle Banggo Students’ Union, the Ramle Banggo Welfare Society, the Galo Students’ Union, the Ramle Banggo Youth Forum, and other Galo organizations requested the district administration for early submission of the feasibility report on the selected locations for setting up the permanent district headquarters.
