Pictures of the beautiful Margarima Station in Komo-Margarima District, Hela (formerly part of Southern Highlands), on Friday, January 14, 2022.
Once a forgotten backwater, Margarima is fast moving, with support from the Marape Government, Hela Provincial Government and Komo-Margarima District Development Authority.
Thousands of people converged on Margarima – located at the crossroads of Hela, Southern Highlands and Enga – to see and hear PM Marape.
The Prime Minister asked the people of Margarima for their help in growing the station into a town as he launched several impact projects.
The projects included Margarima-Kandep (Enga) Road, Margarima Court Complex, Margarima Township Road Sealing, Komo-Margarima District Electrification, Ambua-Nipa Road Sealing, Margarima Plaza, Roofing Iron Factory, 1.1Megawatt Diesel Power Supply, Hiri-Lai Road Sealing and Margarima Station Water Supply Project.
