According to a villager from Pamjal, where three children had earlier died after consuming adulterated food which was prepared from Brinjal, Pumpkins and potatoes , he has not even entertained the hope in his mind to avail such  types of facilities since the  last many  years , but at long last he was given CGI sheets of five bundles and a family benefit scheme.

Though benefits availed by residents of the subdivision have been devoid from media hyped so far  primarily due to the perception that it is an  inaccessible peripheral area, indeed it is worth the while to make highlights of the inflow of such development facilities in the area.

Even for those who claim to have been the least affected by such shemes, like Mualnuam according to a resident  many schemes have been given by way of development  of playground , market shed under the BRGF, cemetery road construction under MLA local areas development programnmes, waiting shed under the BRGF, augmentation of water supply, improvement of Tualkhanhau government high school, family benefits schemes, opening of five Anganwadi centres, old age pension to name a few  alongwith so many others which counts to about 22 altogether.

Provision of the same types of facilities have been extended to all other villages the numbers of which has touched to about 66, said the local MLA V Hangkhanlian on the sidelines of the celebration which started at about 6 pm of Oct 3 at ZYA Hall.
