Lamhai village council (LVC) and Dungki village council (DVC) Peren district Tuesday served a three-day ultimatum on the state government to immediately rectify the proposed diversion of NH-129A from Lamhai-Dungki village to Kiyevi village.
In an ultimatum addressed to the commissioner Nagaland, LVC chairman Haibamko and DVC chairman Namgong Ipuing cautioned that government’s failure to honour their ultimatum would compel the village council to impose “indefinite road blockade” starting February 27, 2021 between Tehaiki river and Nkwakreu river.
The two councils stated that NH-129A was proposed to pass through Lamhai-Dungki village, adding that village council has already issued No Objection Certificate. The two councils, however, stated that the road was “tendered to pass through Kiyevi village and not Lamhai-Dungki village as agreed upon.” LVC and DVC stated that they strongly opposed such diversion, which they warned could create more law and order situation in the district.
