Facebook used to raise funds for road to connect Assam, Manipur and Nagaland
The Telegraph | Alipta Jena | Calcutta, Nov. 19:
The tireless endeavours of a family and the worldwide reach of social networking will soon pave a rocky road to address the basic needs of food, education and livelihood in Manipur’s Tousem subdivision. Jeremiah Pame, assistant professor at University of Delhi, is raising funds through a Facebook group, which has now crossed the 7,000-member mark.
His brother, Armstrong Pame, sub-divisional magistrate of Tamenglong, and the first IAS officer from the Zeme tribe, took up the initiative to construct a road connecting his subdivision to the district headquarters town of Tamenglong and to Haflong in Assam.
The Facebook group and the website of the project, http://thegreatindianroad.in/, list the progress, amounts contributed and the names of the contributors.
