DIMAPUR — Discussion on the foothill road project dominated the monthly meeting of the Peren District Planning and Development Board (DPDB) held on Wednesday under the chairmanship of the deputy commissioner of Peren, Hiazu Meru at his office’s conference hall.
A DIPR report stated that the chairperson has comprehensively briefed the members on the foothill road project, which was followed by sharing of views from representatives of tribal hohos.
It stated that tribal hohos including Nagaland Zeliang People’s Organisation (NZPO) and Kuki Inpi were asked to hold detailed consultations with stakeholders and arrive at a consensus decision. They were also requested to persuade stakeholders to provide an additional three metres of land for the project as the existing 12 metres width is inadequate for long-term requirements.
New members including ADC of Tening, Neilezo; executive engineer of PHED, Kenisevi Meyase; DPO, CD-I of Health and Family Welfare Department, Dr. Caroline; and BDO of Tening (designate), Dualukbe Newme, were introduced in the meeting.
