The write up on the subject “Takeover National Highway-29 by NPWD” published in your esteemed daily Newspaper dated: 24.06.2014 may be corrected as below:
“I remember when Shri Atal Behari Vajpayee, the then Prime Minister of India came to Nagaland in 2004; he took road journey from Dimapur to Kohima. While speaking to the people at I.G. Stadium, Kohima (instead of Khuochiezie (Kohima Local Ground)), he commented, “I was told that this (NH-39, later named NH-29) was the best road in Nagaland. If this was the best road, I can imagine how best the worst is”. He went on to sanction Rs.400 crores for 4-lanes (instead of 2-lanes) National Highway. Ten years have passed, but the road conditions still remain the same; if not becoming worst”.
Error regretted.
