Northeast villagers gather money to build roads
To fulfill the most cherished dream of having roads to connect the remote areas of Manipur, Assam and Nagaland, about 100 Northeast villagers are working hard towards collecting funds to complete the road construction. The deadline will be until Christmas.
An example, wherein a resident from Manipur’s remote Phoklong village has contributed Rs 1,000 from his old-age pension for the road to be built as soon as possible. The resident wishes to see motors zooming past his house before he breathes his last.
However, he is not the only resident yearning for a road, people from far away countries like US, the UK, Canada and Scotland have also contributed towards this project.
The key person behind this is Jeremiah Pame, an assistant professor of English at Delhi University, who has taken the initiative of raising funds for the Tamenglong-Haflong Road construction work. The work has been supervised by Jeremiah’s brother Armstrong, who is an IAS officer in the SDO of Tousem sub-division.
