DIMAPUR — The Centre Chakhesang Public Organisation (CCPO) has stated that it received several complaints from the general public related to the Pfutsero-Phek two-lane road.
In a press release, the CCPO recalled that the then DC Phek issued an order dated May 25, 2023, and another notice dated September 12, 2024, on the issues.
Subsequently, it stated that in connection to the directives of the administration, the CCPO adopted a resolution on December 6, 2023, held at Sakraba Town Hall as Resolution No. 2 for maintenance of the two-lane road, for which the CCPO had entrusted all the village councils under its jurisdiction to mitigate problems and issues pertaining to maintenance and repair of the two-lane road through whose villages the road passes.
However, it stated that some individuals and groups engaged in stone quarrying and other developmental activities within the stretch from Pfutsero-Phek via Sakraba-Porba-Pholami-Khomi had failed to cooperate with the village councils on many occasions, creating nuisance to the general public.

The organisation stated that individuals or groups engaged in extracting boulders and erecting hoardings within the existing road surface, constructing approach roads, randomly dumping excavated soil in undesignated areas, constructing structures within the perimeter of the two-lane road surface, and carrying out other activities such as damaging breast walls and piling debris on the shoulder and within the RoW are detrimental and affect the flow of traffic.
They have been asked to remove, vacate, or repair the affected areas by February 28.
It further stated that failure to cooperate with this appeal, the CCPO shall not be held responsible in the event of any eventualities. The organisation solicited public cooperation.
