This was informed by cabinet minister AL Hek who stated that the road had already been handed over by defence to the state PWD.
“Since the road is in deteriorated and in a dilapidated conditions, I have written a letter about 2-3 weeks back to Brigadier MES who is also the chief engineer MES Shillong zone and today through telephone he informed that the road now is under the jurisdiction of state PWD” said Hek.
Hek said that earlier the road from MES which led up to Rynjah, Demseiniong, Nongmensong and Polo falls under his constituency but after delimitation this road was left unattended for so long.
He added that being a resident of that area he was very much concerned, “So immediately I called the Shillong central division to inquire about the work progress and I was told that the work is already started from Garoline and eventually the repairing will also take place in MES road”.
Hek informed that the stretch or the road is more than 1 kilometer when combined from Garoline via MES road till the main road of Demseiniong.
“I have already requested the Brigadier if possible to part land for expansion of the road and also for the construction of the footpath for the pedestrian” he added.
