Mokokchung, Nov. 23: Officials of the Mokokchung district administration and the Public Works Department, and members of the Ao Senden besides contractors and members from the ‘Pick-up Truck Union Mokokchung’ and the Mokokchung District Truck Owners Association (MDTOA) are said to have visited the Mokokchung-Mariani road on Nov. 23.
The visitors undertook an on-spot inspection of NH-702D which is currently under closure of agitating truckers who are demanding repairs and upkeep of the highway.
The MDTOA has strongly restricted ‘the plying of commercial vehicles’ along the Mariani-Mokokchung and also along the Mokokchung-Amguri road. The ‘chakka bandh’ is being enforced since Nov. 21 and will continue indefinitely. NH-702D is the main lifeline of the district.
