Title: Mendipathar Railway Connectivity Boosts Farmers’ Access to Markets: DC
Press Release Number:
09/11/2026
Description:
During the visit, Deputy Commissioner of North Garo Hills district, Smt. M.S.N. Marak, IAS, highlighted the significant benefits of railway connectivity for the people of the region, particularly farmers, by providing easier and more affordable access to markets outside the State.
Marak said the railway service has enabled farmers to transport freshly harvested vegetables and other agricultural produce to Guwahati, where they can sell their produce and return home the same day. This has considerably reduced transportation costs while providing local farmers with access to wider markets.
She also noted that organic vegetables from the region are in high demand in Guwahati, offering farmers better opportunities to market their produce. The railway network has also helped reduce the cost of essential commodities by facilitating the direct transportation of goods into the district
