NYAPIN, 28 Jan: Nyapin MLA and Home Minister Bamang Felix recently toured his constituency in Kurung Kumey district to review the progress of various developmental projects in it.
A slew of projects, ranging from connectivity to accommodation for administrative service officers, are being undertaken in Nyapin to help usher in modernity and ease of living in the district.
In Nyobia circle, Felix inspected the construction of the PMGSY road from Nibi to Hiba village, being executed by the Sangram rural works division. The road connects Nyapin and Koloriang assembly constituencies.
Speaking with the RWD executive engineer and the local contractors, Felix directed them to ensure that the road is completed within the stipulated time while also ensuring that it remains “blockade-free at all times.”
The minister also visited Satang Sinik Lake, about 2.5 kms from Nibi village. Once a natural lake, Satang Sinik is known for the tale of a legendary folklore figure, Taram Gaming.
Felix advised the villagers to keep their surroundings plastic-free, and to conserve the ecology.
Stating that the lake can be rejuvenated and promoted as a tourist destination, the minister appealed to the villagers to “cooperate with the administration in its conservation efforts.”
