DIMAPUR — In a major effort to bring essential services closer to remote communities, the Shamator district administration led by EAC, Mekato J Aye, conducted a three-day monsoon tour from June 2-4, in the remote villages of Kuthur, Longtoker, and Sotokur under the banner ‘Bringing governance to your doorstep.’
The tour mobilised a composite team from multiple departments — Medical, Education, Social Welfare, Rural Development, and district-level schemes — to deliver essential services and raise awareness at the grassroots, a DIPR report stated.

The tour also featured focused campaigns on substance abuse prevention (Nasha Mukt Bharat), road safety, tobacco control, Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, and women's health and empowerment.
