It’s a great blessing to be at the St. James Parish Dal’gipa Soba (congregation) at Chokpot. The teachings of Christ is a message not only of love but of humility. A reminder to each of us to serve with humility. pic.twitter.com/4EXljw34cM

He also said that a community college in Chokpot will be set up while the civil sub-division and block offices in Chokpot would be upgraded.
The chokpot road has been one of the most damaged roads in the Garo Hills region and years of neglect and poor engineering work on it has led it to further decay.
