He also appreciated the efficiency of the CAWD officials led by the assistant chief engineer, who are overseeing the works to ensure timely completion of the projects.

While appreciating that, soon after the land was acquired, the Detailed Project Report (DPR) was prepared and work had started, he instructed the contractors to expedite the works for early completion.
Khamo mentioned that the Government of Nagaland is seriously committed to delivering quality infrastructure in a timely manner to enable better governance. In this regard, he stated that contractors shouldn't be lax in executing projects.
Meanwhile, CAWD's Assistant Chief Engineer, Sungtiba Amer, also instructed the contractors involved in the constructions at both Tseminyu and Wokha to expedite the works. He explained the funding patterns and stated that the projects have a stipulated timeline, and if performance is not shown within that period, the funds may lapse.
He also advised the contractors to stock construction materials ahead of the rainy season so that the pace of work is not affected.
