“The road leading to Chokpot, one of the oldest routes in the district, is in an alarmingly dilapidated state, filled with large potholes, mud, and debris, making it almost impossible for vehicles to pass through, especially during the rainy season. This severely affects daily commutes and poses a serious risk to the lives of the people”, said Marak.

Marak further expressed concern about the negligence of development in particular in South Garo Hills region especially Chokpot. He said that residents of this area are often left feeling like ‘second-class citizens’ due to the lack of essential services, proper infrastructure, and the absence of effective governance. The bad road conditions are only a part of the broader problem, added Marak.

Apart from bad road conditions, Marak said Chokpot is facing poor network connectivity that continues to isolate the region.
