The Garo Students Union (GSU) and Nokma of Awegre village have submitted a plea to Power Minister James Sangma calling for the electrification of three villages in South Garo Hills – Awegre, Anchigre and Danagre.
In a letter today, the three villages are called the “most neglected villages” in the state as they do not have electricity. The residents are dependent on charcoal, oil lamps and such and have been “taken advantage” of by politicians and the government.
