The state government will go on mission mode to ensure connectivity to all the villages via bridges where people have to cross rivers.
Stating that Meghalaya is a place where the rains are extremely heavy and a lot of villages get disconnected because there is a rise in water level during the monsoon, Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma said that children and farmers and others are not able to cross the rivers at these times safely.
He talked of providing access by building suspension bridges, crossways or other means to try and help people stay connected. This will be under a five-year plan and between 50 to 100 locations will be taken up this year, Sangma added.
