Dimapur, Nov. 29 (EMN): The Nagaland Government Registered Class-I Contractors’ Union (NGRC-I CU) has resolved to support the Naga peace talk for an early honourable solution with a demand to strengthen the Article 371 A of Indian Constitution in letter and in spirit.
The resolution to this effect was taken during its annual meeting-cum-advent Christmas celebration held in its office on November 29, an update from the union president Seyiekuolie and vice president S Bendang Jamir stated on Friday.
The union has appealed the state government to issue a direction to disqualify any contractor who quotes below the schedule of rate (SOR) during the tender process. The union also requested the state government to release the pending bills of genuine contractors, who have successfully completed the project.
Guest speaker of the advent Christmas programme, Kezhokhoto Savi, who is also the president of Nagaland Voluntary Consumer Organisation (NVCO), stated that Christmas is a season to plant goodness. He encouraged the contractors not to be tired of planting goodness wherever they go because it will never get lost wherever they have planted.
He urged the members to let God be their contractor who always do good to others. Savi also wished every member to have peace in their homes during this Christmas with Jesus who is the ‘Prince of Peace.’
Meanwhile, the union has formed a nomination committee for the selection of a new team of office bearers with KC Angami as convenor, S Bendang Jamir as member secretary, and Pfuduolhou Kense as member.
The union also requested the members to apply for identity card through the union office which is issued by the government during the office hour.
The union informed that its office would remain closed with effect from December 16 and be reopened on January 13, 2020. The union wished all the citizens and its members a blessed Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
The service was conducted by its vice president S Bendang Jamir, while the invocation was said by its treasurer Krosal Neikha. The Christmas feast was hosted by its president Seyiekuolie. The union advisors including Vilelie Khamo, Viu Belho, KC Angami and Theyiekielie Tachü also attended the programme.
