KHUIM MEVOTH MHOJEM BHURGUEPONN?
- Sovo Bhag (Part VI)
NOTE: This topic is based on the Ward Community union activities then and
now, and how they used to work out things for the welfare of the community,
also the harsh punishment which was rarely implemented on individuals for
wrong doings, which would effect their children and families, how they used
to solve disputes among neighbours, and finally - a moral not do disrupt unity.
