Lok Sabha MP from Shillong, Ricky Andrew J Syngkon, has sought overhauling of the land port at Dawki along the Bangladesh border.
He submitted a memorandum to Aditya Mishra, chairman of Land Port Authority of India, MHA, department of border management in New Delhi on September 18. In the memorandum, the MP expressed gratitude to the MHA for setting up the first land port in the state which was inaugurated on May 4 last year.
“On this September 14, I personally paid a visit to this port. During the visit, I observed a number of issues that must be addressed so as to optimise the potential and efficiency of the port and its effective functioning,” the MP said.
He also said efforts must be made to ensure uninterrupted power supply to the entire campus. Opening of a bank and ATM in the port is a must for foreign exchange and other banking activities, he pointed out.
