The minister inspected district transport office. The inducted 31-seater buses will operate between Lamka–Bukpi, Lamka–Sangaikot and Lamka–Behiang.
Valte said the transport service was introduced with a noble intent to solve the inconveniences faced by the people residing in the far-flung and interior areas of the district. He, at the same time, observed that chief minister of the state N.
