He challenged the citizens to contribute for public good. He stated that the citizens have set an exemplary deed by delivering the much-needed facility at the door-step, of which the public was deprived of for the past many years.
“Since the inception of our statehood and formation of Peren district, the most needed developmental activity for the welfare of the society has been taken up by the public,” Nchang said and lauded them for bringing pride, glory and success.
Amid these difficult and trying times, where most people around the globe have been affected, he immensely thanked God for the wondrous love and mercy as no Covid-19 dead was reported so far from the district.
