CHANGLANG, Jul 26: Changlang DC RK Sharma urged the HoDs of the district to consult with the people at the grassroots level before forwarding schemes for submission to the planning department.
Addressing a district development committee meeting, which was also attended by MLAs Phosum Khimhun, Laisam Simai and Somlung Mossang, here on Friday, Sharma urged the departments to “come up with innovative schemes for speedy development of the area.”
Khimhun expressed his commitment to construct all-weather roads in the Changlang South constituency, and asked the HoDs to ensure quality work by monitoring the projects.
