The Tuensang District Action Plan Committee (TDAPC) has appealed to the National Highways department for immediate intervention into the situation with the badly damaged National Highway 202/155.
TDAPC president, Kaimang and general secretary, Singkhum Thonger, in a appeal letter sought to draw the attention of the authorities to several previous appeals, despite which the road has still been left abandoned by the department. Likening to road to “river/drainage”, TDAPC said that the road was not in a position to have vehicles ply on it. The committee also questioned why Tuensang district, being the oldest district, was being overlooked and ignored in every aspect of development in caparison to other districts.
It sought the immediate intervention of the authorities to fill up the pot-holes within two weeks, and take up construction of a two lane road within three months time. “Failing to comply with the appeal the committee may not hesitate to take its own course of action which may be a havoc for governance and public in general” the letter warned.
