Minister of Health & Family Welfare, AL Hek inaugurated two health sub centres at Rangmaw in Mawkyrwat, South West Khasi Hills district and Lyngkien in Mylliem, East Khasi Hills district.

The inauguration functions were held in the presence of PHE Minister and Mawkyrwat MLA Renikton Lyngdoh Tongkhar and C&RD Minister and Mylliem MLA, Hamletson Dohling.

Hek said the Rangmaw sub-centre is the first government project in the history of the state to be completed within a span of one year.

The foundation stone was laid on November 5, last year. “As far as I can remember in my five consecutive terms as an elected representative, this is the first government project which has been completed within a very short span of time,” Hek told reporters.

According to him, the Rangmaw sub centre was constructed at a cost of Rs 54 lakh and will cater to over 12 villages.

On the other hand, the health minister informed that the Lyngkien sub centre was however sanctioned way back in 2013 at a cost of Rs 23 lakh.

He said at least 7 villages will be covered under the sub centre, which has been completed after a gap of 17 years.
