Pochury Students’ Union backs Meluri Area Public Organisation on road project concerns

• DIMAPUR — The Pochury Students’ Union (PSU) extended support to the Meluri Area Public Organisation (MAPO) in its stand against the “alarming negligence” shown by the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) and the executing firm, KKB Rulho Pvt. Ltd., in the ongoing two-lane road construction project in Meluri district.
• 
  
• “We are appalled to learn that a completion certificate has been issued by NHIDCL despite the ground reality and that machineries were withdrawn from the site immediately thereafter. This act not only defies logic but exposes a gross betrayal of public trust. NHIDCL must be prepared to bear the wrath of the people if such actions continue unaddressed,” PSU said in a press statement.

• It said that despite several joint inspections involving NHIDCL officials, the contractor, and village leaders, the lack of any substantial progress—combined with the quiet disengagement from the project site—serves as undeniable proof of negligence and systemic failure.
• 
  
• “This delay is not merely administrative inefficiency; it is a direct insult to the mobility, safety, and dignity of the local populace,” it read, adding that the PSU strongly condemns this continued apathy, which reflects a deeper collapse of responsibility and governance.
• 
  
• In solidarity with MAPO, the Pochury Students’ Union demanded immediate, tangible, and irreversible corrective measures within the stipulated deadline.
• 
  
• “If timely and decisive action is not taken, the PSU will intensify its democratic engagements alongside MAPO and the affected communities. We are committed to raising this issue across every possible platform until justice is not only demanded—but delivered,” it added.
