- KOHIMA — The Chakhesang Students' Union (CSU)
has intensified its agitation against the National Highways and Infrastructure
Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) and EPC contractor M/s Ratna
Infrastructure Projects Pvt. Ltd., citing repeated failures to meet project
commitments and deadlines.
- As part of its second phase of agitation, the CSU on Monday
12 seized three NHIDCL vehicles and one government-registered vehicle, stating
that despite prior warnings, the agencies continued to disregard the union’s
directives regarding the Chakhabama–Kikruma road project (package-II) under
NH-29.

- The CSU had earlier announced an indefinite blockade on the
movement of all government-registered vehicles, including those belonging to
NHIDCL and its contractor. Exemptions have been made for vehicles related to
essential services—Medical, Administrative, Police, Paramilitary, Fire &
Emergency, Power, and PHE Departments.
- In a statement, the union said, “This clearly reflects a
lackadaisical attitude and utter disregard for the directives of the CSU.”
Reaffirming its stance, the CSU asserted that the agitation would continue with
full intensity until all demands are met, and urged all stakeholders to
strictly comply moving forward.
