The Union Minister remarked that such developmental works should be taken up with utmost sincerity and assured Notlia that he shall soon come to the state to inspect the Road Transport and Highways works.

Notlia informed the Minister about the transfer of engineers and officials in-charge of the Siasi to Chakhei Road construction. These officials are – Lalramenga, SDOs – EE Rammawia and J. Khotha.

He further added that as per request of the ruling Minister Dr. K. Beichhua, J. Khotha’s transfer order will be revoked.
