Wokha Town Council restores pedestrian footpaths, clears encroachments and drains, while urging public cooperation and highlighting NH-2 road repair concerns.
WOKHA — The Wokha Town Council (WTC) on Thursday undertook a social work initiative to restore pedestrian footpaths along the stretch from Wokha Police Point to PWD Junction as part of its ongoing campaign to keep the town clean and orderly.
WTC chairperson W Myingthungo Kikon told Eastern Mirror that the exercise focused on clearing encroachments from pedestrian pathways, cleaning clogged drains and improving public accessibility.
Kikon said the council had been making continuous efforts to maintain cleanliness and order in the town, but stressed that public cooperation was essential to creating a cleaner and more citizen-friendly environment.
He appealed to residents to refrain from encroaching on public spaces, dumping waste indiscriminately and creating obstructions on pedestrian pathways.

On the poor condition of roads and potholes along the NH-2 stretch passing through Wokha, he said the council had taken up the matter with the deputy commissioner and held discussions on repair and maintenance works with the concerned contractor.
He said the prolonged rainy season had delayed road repair activities, but expressed hope that the works would be taken up once weather conditions improved.
Additional Deputy Commissioner Renbomo Ezung, who is also the Executive Officer of the WTC, along with council members, labourers and machinery operators participated in and supervised the cleanliness and restoration drive.
The WTC reiterated its commitment to making Wokha cleaner, safer and more pedestrian-friendly through sustained civic initiatives and community participation.
