The move taken by Synjuk ki Waheh Chnong Jowai may be appreciated to some extent. It will be more appropriate if the Synjuk takes to the street to pressurize the government to complete the impending Market complex at Iawmusiang and Umngot Water Supply. These two issues will be more important and beneficial for the Jowai population. The Synjuk is requested to take up these two beneficial issues instead of minor issue.
