Sangma recently spoke with the Assam CM, who expressed concern over the disruption in the movement of people and goods to the Barak Valley.

“We had a meeting with the deputy commissioners and the relevant agency. Necessary action was taken to ensure that the path is clear.”

Meanwhile, the Deputy Commissioners (DCs) were directed to assess the issue.
