KHONSA, Dec 11: Deputy Chief Minister, Chowna Mein inaugurated a composite bridge over Charju River, an Auditorium Hall at Borduria CO (HQ) and an Indigenous Prayer Hall, ‘Rangsoam Hum' at Borduria in Tirap district today.

He further said that we can not stop modernisation arising out of globalisation but at the same time we must not forget our roots. He reiterated that we must accept modernisation with adherence to traditions. 
DCM Mein also underscored the state government's commitment to holistic development, spanning crucial sectors such as road communication, education, healthcare and access to clean drinking water.
