Bridge in Nongstoin inaugurated in Meghalaya's West Khasi Hills District

NONGSTOIN: A jeepable bridge was inaugurated at Nongshyiap village under Aradonga Circle in Meghalaya's West Khasi Hills District on Tuesday. The 65-metre bridge was constructed by the villagers of Nongshyiap and Warigro, under the MGNREGA scheme at an amount of Rs 50 lakh. A jeepable bridge is usually constructed in hilly areas or over water bodies. It is good enough to accommodate the weight and size of a jeep at the most due to its rough and narrow design. The bridge was inaugurated by Block Development Officer (BDO) of Mawshynrut C&RD Block, S Syiemlieh, . Among others who attended the programme included Charles Jana, District Programme Manager DRDA Nongstoin and the village heads. (Agencies)
