Heavy monsoon rain has caused destruction to many roads in Nagaland, and the NH-2 is one of them.
Sir,
I hope you are well aware and well informed of the recent destruction of roads in many parts of Nagaland due to heavy monsoon rain. Out of many roads, I would like to emphasis on one particular road i.e. NH-2, that I am well aware of. On 20th July 2026, few metres of NH-2 was washed away or damaged by landslide under Unger jurisdiction. Fortunately, there is an old narrow link road connecting Unger and Chuchyimlang. However, even after a week, this narrow bypass road cannot be properly repaired for smooth vehicular movement. As compared to other roads, in this particular section of road NH-2, there are JCB (excavator), road roller and other machinery available for repairing of road (though not free of cost). Besides, there are plenty of stone boulders under Unger jurisdiction, and if 40-50 car load of stone boulder are laid on the road and leveled by the road roller, this narrow bypass road would be smooth for vehicular movement by now. National Highway staff and well-wishers are doing their best; however, due to limited machinery, their hard work is not progressing as quickly as required at this moment.
In this regard, sir, I would like to know if the road's disrepair following the recent landslide is due to your weakness or that of the Government of Nagaland. If this particular road, where materials and machinery are easily available, cannot be maintained, I wonder what the condition and progress of road repairs will be in far-flung areas where machinery is limited or unavailable. Therefore, I strongly urge your concerned department to allocate funds, besides financial allocation from the State Emergency Fund by the state government, for the early repair of the road.
