CAWD reviews the progress of under-construction DC office complexes in Dimapur and Niuland, stressing quality, durability and timely completion.
DIMAPUR — The Civil Administration Works Division (CAWD) on August 7 reviewed the progress of the under-construction Deputy Commissioner’s (DC) office complexes in Dimapur and Niuland, with emphasis on quality, timely execution and durability of the projects.
The inspection was led by Assistant Chief Engineer (ACE), CAWD, Sungtiba Amer, who visited the project sites along with CAWD officials, administrative officers, engineers and representatives of the executing contractors.
At the Dimapur site, Amer expressed satisfaction with the progress of the project and stressed the need to maintain quality workmanship throughout the construction period.
He informed that the original work order provided for a 24-month construction period with effect from November 7, 2025.
However, as construction could commence only after the dismantling of the old building was completed, the effective work period would be extended by seven months.
The Dimapur project comprises a modern G+2 Deputy Commissioner’s Office Complex designed by the Chief Architect, PWD (Planning & Design), with CAWD serving as the executing agency.
Later in the day, the CAWD team inspected the DC office complex at Niuland, where it was joined by Deputy Commissioner TL Kiusumong Tikhir, administrative officers, engineers and the executing contractor.
Implemented under the Special Assistance to States for Capital Investment (SASCI) scheme, the Niuland project is a G+3 office complex that commenced in 2024.
While expressing satisfaction with the progress of work, Amer directed the contractor to ensure completion within the stipulated work-order period while maintaining the prescribed standards of quality.
During the inspections, Amer reviewed the major components of the ongoing works and emphasised that quality, durability and timely execution must remain the department’s top priorities.
He said the office complexes were intended to serve the people and administration for decades to come.
He also expressed gratitude to the Chief Minister for consistently prioritising the development of administrative infrastructure by providing adequate funding for the construction of DC office complexes and other administrative buildings across the state. He said the government’s support had enabled CAWD to undertake key infrastructure projects, including DC office complexes in Tuensang, Noklak, Shamator, Wokha, Tseminyu, Meluri and Zunheboto, besides several other functional and non-functional administrative buildings.
Describing the inspection as his final official field visit before his retirement later this month, Amer thanked the commissioner, deputy commissioners, administrative officers, engineers and other stakeholders for their cooperation and support during his tenure.
He said the department’s achievements were the result of collective dedication and teamwork and expressed confidence that CAWD would continue to strengthen administrative infrastructure across the state.
