He also urged the people of Hengbung and its surrounding area to render their service and cooperation towards the Government so as to witness changes in the health sector and other areas as well.

T Ranjit Singh said that with nine sub-divisions Kangpokpi district is the largest district which could be the fastest growing district in the State with the collective participation of the people in any sector.

Haokholet Kipgen, ex-Minister and Chief of Hengbung village appeal the concerned Minister and district administration to remember Hengbung village in any development projects and schemes of various concerned departments as the people themselves are totally in the dark about the developmental schemes and projects of the Government meant for the welfare of the people.
