In addition to poor surface connectivity, people settled in Moreh town had been enduring shortage of hygienic drinking water and erratic power supply thereby comounding problem in this hot and humid border town, conceded the MLA.

Urging the ADC members to extend cooperation in his endeavour to bring development in the district, Korungthang also emphasised that every community settled in the district need to contribute their mite in promoting peace and tranquillity to facilitate expeditious development.
