Infrastructure

As such the local administration didn't do much for the development of Diyun Bazaar. The condition of infrastructure is worrisome. It Take almost 2 hours to reach Diyun from Namsai, India which is only 32 km. Another infrastructure parameter electricity, which though present but would be better without it. Since the last 20 years the capacity of the Diyun transformer was not changed or augmented.
