DIMAPUR — The
District Planning and Development Board (DPDB) meetings for the districts of
Chümoukedima, Phek, and Zunheboto were held on Thursday.
Chümoukedima: The Chümoukedima DPDB meeting was held under
the chairmanship of the Advisor for Urban Development and Municipal Affairs and
DPDB Chairman, Zhaleo Rio, at the DC office.
According to a DIPR report, during the meeting, the chairman
directed all the concerned departments to increase their level of preparedness
ahead of the onset of the monsoon and instructed the departments to be ready to
face monsoon-related emergencies in the district.
He requested the Department of Agriculture to provide
quality saplings and seedlings to the farmers, make villages aware of the
schemes, and bring the action plans, activities, and target assistance to the
attention of the elected representatives.
Advisor for Industries and Commerce Hekani Jakhalu, in her
address, appealed to the department to collaborate and devise a proper plan, as
many villages are still unaware of the schemes and activities.
She said that if they fail to serve the public, then they
would be failing in their role as government servants, as their core responsibility
is to serve the public. On monsoon preparedness, she assured that, on her part,
she would appeal to the concerned department to provide assistance to the
affected families under the District Disaster Response Fund in a timely manner.
The house also discussed and deliberated on various agendas
