Wokha, July 19 (DIPR): A new milestone to the landowners of Pangti village of Doyang dam, NEPCCO, under Wokha district, has reasons to smile after a long decade as the Chubi Bridge is on the verge of completion.

It was also resolved that the different Ekhungs will meet before the inauguration of this remarkable bridge.
