To root out and to up lift the misguided girl, a hostel for them is of the most importance.

She added that Tamenglong has a huge potential to attract tourists from all over the world. She continued that the tour will surely contribute in strengthening integrity of hill and valley people.
Widouliu Newmai, the better half of MLA Z Kikhonbou Newmai said women must visit remote areas and hill districts and look into the nature of the women society. She said that such initiatives will surely fill the gap over the up lift of the women society.
