‘Correct decades of neglect within 15 days’
Dimapur, August 31 (EMN): A community organisation has asked the government to tend a road connecting Khubokita to Kithakitsa in Zunheboto district. The government has been asked to “correct” within 15 days the ‘decades’ of suffering that the public of the area has had to undergo.
The organization, Emlo-to Public Organisation (EPO), issued a copy of a press release that was addressed to the chief secretary of Nagaland on Thursday. According to the organisation, the Khubokita-Kithsakita-Atoizu road is one of the main routes leading to Khelhoshe Polytechnic College, Asukhuto and ‘to the district of Zunheboto.’ The road is in a pitiable condition; citizens are facing hardships, it stated.
‘The pitiable condition of the said road suffered by the people over the decades must be corrected forthwith, within the period of 15 days from the date of receipt of this representation,’ the organisation declared. ‘Failure on the part of the concern department / government to act within the given time, the EPO will resort to our own course of action deemed fit until such time the demand is fulfilled.’
The EPO stated: ‘With the development of this road, the people will be immensely relieved. The construction and maintenance of the road have been lying unattended for more than a decade and the concerned public have been maintaining the said road at their own expenses from time to time but due to the lack of machinery tool and modern equipments, the repaired roads cannot sustain for long.’
Moreover, the group stated, the public will not be in the position to maintain the road ‘time and again.’ The consensus is that the government should ‘provide commendable service’ in respect of the demand, it stated.
“Over the years the condition of the road has rapidly deteriorated due to complete negligence and lack of proper strategies to tackle the problem by the concern department,” the organisation stated.
Further, the EPO opined that the problem in the construction and maintenance of the road is “not insurmountable.” The EPO sees no justifiable reasons as to why appropriate steps have not been taken to ‘ensure that the road is properly constructed and maintained,’ the press release stated.
