CM Pema also laid the foundation for an 18-kilometre road from Jayang Bagang to Paje Solung village and the road from Domdilla to Tajo village at Chayang Tajo on the same day. Adding impetus to development, he also inaugurated two 100 kilowatts Rapo hydel stations, hydel connectivity for evacuation of power from hydels, a sub-division office of the Rural Works Department and a 50-metre bridge over Wase River.
“My first visit to Bameng Assembly Constituency. Priority will be an improvement of Pakke-Bameng road, the main route leading to Bameng headquarters. Also Bameng-Lada and Pakke-Khenewa road. For want of good mobility, the constituency remained under-developed. Now change awaits!” read Khandu’s tweet.
