RD block Chumu inspects river embankment works

Officials of Rural Development Block, Chumukedima led by BDO Tsukti Ao and AE Pillai accompanied by chairman, Purana Bazaar village council Hozheto Achumi and other members inspected the on-going works of river embankment at Sugarmill Nullah behind Zion Hospital on Wednesday morning. The embankment works project which is being covered under MGNREGA 2013-2014 is on the verge of completion.
Sugarmill Nullah flows between Purana Bazaar and Darogajan and into Dhansiri River and that particular stretch of river bank on Purana Bazaar side of the nullah where the embankment is being erected to prevent soil erosion was one of the worst affected areas during last year’s rainy season. Village council chairman Hozheto Achumi stated four houses were washed away by flood waters.
The visiting RD officials appreciated the Purana Bazaar village council for taking up such developmental projects in the village that would practically benefit the people. They were of the view that Purana Bazaar is one of the best implementing villages of MGNREGA.
Meanwhile, Hozheto Achumi, on behalf of the council and village thanked the department and officials of RD Block Chumukedima for providing required fund for the embankment works.
