Dimapur, Aug. 6 (EMN): Citing ‘flaws’ in the construction of footpaths currently underway in downtown Dimapur, the Naga Council of Dimapur (NCD) has asked the Dimapur administration to ‘intervene at the earliest and take necessary actions’ against the agency overseeing the construction.
In a letter to the deputy commissioner of Dimapur on Monday, the NCD alleged that the department of Urban Development was using materials of poor quality to construct the footpaths. The workmanship was also poor, it alleged.
“...the recent footpath work that is being carried out has several flaws in the quality and designs. The workmanship is poor and the materials that are being used are (of) inferior quality. The Naga Council Dimapur therefore urges the district administration to intervene at the earliest and take necessary action against the implementing agency i.e. Urban Development department (of) Nagaland,” the letter read.
Also, the organisation urged the district administration and the Dimapur Municipal Council to accord priority to creating long-term sustainable plan for the city infrastructure ‘such as pedestrian-friendly footpaths in the street of Dimapur.’
