This district was in the news as villagers of one of its villages Boro Robi have constructed a 6-km road on their own without any support from Government, connecting their isolated village to the world.

The villagers had approached the government many times, knocked the doors for years but without any positive response.

The villagers of Boro Robi of Haflong tehsil had to cross a hill from Jatinga side which was not only very time consuming but arduous and strenuous too.

After initial survey villagers with the help and guidance of a social entrepreneur Aching Zeme decided to construct 6-km road to connect Boro Robi with Zaikang village which has a motorable road and thus linking their isolated village to the world.

This is a successful story of an extraordinary resolve of simple & innocent villagers in a distant - remote area of North East India  and also inspiration for others.
