A road which has been under construction for years and which has put human lives at risk has forced four villages in Meghalaya along the India-Bangladesh border to resolve that it would be better if they were given away to the neighbouring country.
The villages have also resolved to seek financial help from Bangladesh to construct the road.
Last week, villagers from Hingaria, Huroi, Lahalein and Lejri came out to give some shape to the deplorable and muddy Rymbai-Bataw-Borkhat-Sonapur road to facilitate the movement of 4×4 vehicles.
These villages, which have a population of more than 5,000, are located close to Bangladesh, and fall under the Lumshnong police station in East Jaiñtia Hills district. These areas are more than 185km away from Shillong.
