Women of Khlieh Umwang village under the disputed Block II area in Ri Bhoi District took upon themselves the task to repair a road within their area.
The women were led by the Lumlang village organisation with the sole aim to ease travelling of residents who had for years suffered due to neglect shown by the state government.
The repair works carried out today was also supported by men and youth of the village who felt that this apathy has gone for too long and they have no other choice but to repair on their own.
These women have urged the government to consider giving them proper roads for them to transport farm produces.
