Zenith Sangma

Former Minister Zenith Sangma has accused the NPP led MDA Government of misusing its power in banning the internet. Zenith Sangma said that “The state government has misused the power vested to them, due to the ban of internet in the state; all the students who had to apply online for admission were lost as most of the cyber café was shutdown.
