MOKOKCHUNG, MAY 17 (MExN): The Mokokchung Town Lanur Telongjem (MTLT), as part of the COVID-19 relief work, reached out to the villages lying in the Assam-Nagaland border belt. 

This is the fourth phase of the relief work undertaken by the MTLT, informed a press release from MTLT Vice President, Merang Longkumer and Vice President, Martoshi.
