Road construction to cost Rs. 3.61 cr
Residents of Naginimora have decided to construct roads of the town through contributions from the business community at an estimated cost of Rs 3.61 crore.
In a press note, Konyak Union (KU) Naginimora alleged that roads of Naginimora town had been neglected for the past 20 years without a single maintenance work being carried despite repeated representations to the government, and in spite of the people of Naginimora paying a huge amount of revenue during this period.
A public meeting was held in this regard and a core committee for overseeing the road construction was formed with Konyak Union (KU) Naginimora unit president L Methlow Konyak as its convener.
Other members of the committee include N Khampei Konyak (secretary), S Methlow, Yewang, Yopong DK, Wangching, Humpong retired forest ranger, Woklang, Hamnyei, Munglung retired forest ranger, former personal assistant to DC Tongpen, KBCN pastor, Henpong head GB, Wangkai, H Honheih, Naginimora Konyak Students’ Union, Konyak Nyupuh Sheko Khung Naginimora unit and KU Naginimora unit.
As the construction of roads would be carried through private contribution, all State government departments have been asked not to exercise their rules and regulations for two years– from 2019 to 2021.
This, KU unit explained, was also part of an agitation against the State government for not constructing the roads despite repeated appeals and submission of memorandums.
The union asserted that it was the fundamental right of the residents of the town to have better roads.
