The road was completed at a cost of Rs 45 lakh.
Dohling expressed joy at the timely completion of the road and hoped that the road will go a long way in bringing overall development to the village.
This project was a long-felt need of the people, and successive MLAs had tried to turn it into a reality.
Headman, A Lyngdoh, stated that it is a historic moment for the village, as the road had been in a dilapidated condition for a long time. Thanking the MLA, he informed that the roadworks were completed even before any scheme had been sanctioned.
