KOHIMA, JULY 4: Human waste was found this morning on the old MLA junction footbridge, where the Kohima Ao Baptist Arogo (KABA Care) had recently undertaken a voluntary ‘beautification’ works in Kohima town.
This is the third such incident of individuals believed to be trying to spoil the ‘beautification’ works, since KABA CARE started the voluntary social services in its efforts to give the capital town a face lift.
On June 23, some vandals also ruined paintings and smashed paint buckets on the footbridge above Mezhür Higher Secondary School. Also, some cross markings were found on the painted footbridge at Razhü point earlier.
Talking to Eastern Mirror, Kovi Meyase, the administrator of Kohima Municipal Council said that he was disappointed by the lack of civic sense among the public in the town. Volunteers are working without any pay, lending social services for the benefit of all the town’s citizens, he said.
In this regard, the official has fervently appealed to the public to maintain some decency, and do away with ‘this kind of mentality and to respect the efforts of the volunteers.’
