Welcoming the announcement and commitment made by Union Minister of Railways, Suresh Prabhu, during the foundation stone laying ceremony for Dimapur-Zubza BG line in Dimapur on August 1, 2016 that the project would be completed before the scheduled period, the Chakhroma GBs Union (CGBU) on Friday assured to extend its “full and unflinching support”.
In a press release, CGBU president Thepfukedo Kuotsu and general secretary Atso Gwizan also said that since the proposed railway line mostly runs through Chakhroma village, the union would ensure that the works were executed “freely and unhindered by unwanted elements”.
The union has therefore requested the responsibly authority to immediately begin the work without any fear or favour. CGBU has also appealed to everyone especially the villages through which the railway line passes to cooperate with the authorities to make sure that the project was carried out unhindered.
The union cautioned that it would not tolerate any individuals or groups who attempt to sabotage the project with “unreasonable means and demands.” With regard to the proposed Dimapur-Kohima four-lane highway, the CGBU has expressed its displeasure at the delay in starting the work and urged the authorities to immediately begin the work.
Pointing out that the project was centrally sponsored, the union said Centre has the authority to award works to any group/contractors of its choice. The union therefore said there was no point in raising any issue about the groups to execute the works.
Further, CGBU has appealed to the NPGs and other unions or individuals not to create any hurdles to the project, saying the union would not tolerate any activity that hampered developmental works within its jurisdiction.
