Haflong: Residents of Maibang, the historic capital of the Dimasa kingdom and the current headquarters of the Maibang Sub-Division, have reiterated their demand for a foot-over bridge at the Maibang Railway Station, highlighting concerns regarding public safety. Various student organizations and engaged citizens have been advocating for this vital infrastructure.
The urgency for a foot-over bridge is evident, as numerous lives have been lost in recent years due to accidents while navigating the railway tracks.
