By Anup Biswas |

At the out set all the leaders of DHD and the Gaon Buras and senior citizens were felicitated with traditional ‘risa’.


Groups from various communities performed their traditional dances to welcome the MoS as well as the DHD leaders.


Talking to this correspondent, Sri Hauva Hmar, GB of Hungveng while expressing his satisfaction over the DHD’s endeavour for the all round development of the District. He at the age of 76 said he has witnessed many happenings in this small district during recent past but this signing (as he understand) of this historic MoS has become a ray of hope for the people of this district.


Akhub Hrangkhol, GB of Rekho is also of the opinion that proper and timely implementation of this MoS is more important and of course, all the people of the district should remain united so that all the people of the district could get the benefit of this historic MoS.
