Shillong, Oct 19: A pressure group has asked Chief Minister Conrad Sangma to avoid helicopter journey and to travel by road to understand the plight of people while visiting Chokpot and Siju on October 21.
The ASONG Southern Zone, Baghmara wanted him to travel by road instead of using helicopter.

We urgently request that the chief minister travel by road instead to inspect the ground reality and experience firsthand the urgent need for infrastructure repair and development in our constituency,” ASONG added.
