What happened
The Seng Samla Hima Langrin group issued a six-month ultimatum to the state government and the PWD (Roads) to sanction and blacktop the 50-year-old Wahkaji-Phlangdiloin-Langpa road. The group warned that it would file a Public Interest Litigation in the High Court of Meghalaya if the demand is not met.

Why it matters
The group stated that a proper road connecting Phlangdiloin to Ranikor would significantly cut travel time from three to four hours to just 15 to 20 minutes. Additionally, the road is expected to help farmers sell their produce at better rates in the border market.
