The CEM was accompanied by Howraghat MLA Darsing Ronghang, Executive Members Ritesh Enghi, Surjya Rongphar, Madhuram Lekhte, MAC Johnny Timung, KAAC Board Chairman Mohan Tisso, and departmental officials during the inspection.

Statues of other noted Karbi figures will also be erected at key roundabouts along the new road.
Several major facilities are scheduled for inauguration in Diphu this December, including an international-standard swimming pool, a state-of-the-art cancer hospital, a flyover, and a beautification lake.
These are part of the council’s broader efforts to enhance health services, public infrastructure, and tourism appeal in the district.
According to officials, the projects reflect a long-term vision for development and improved quality of life in Karbi Anglong.
