Dimapur | February 21
The Nagaland Foothill Road Coordination Committee (NFHRCC) has reaffirmed to stand by the July 23, 2013 resolution. One of the resolutions included a commitment to not “politicize” the project. “On July 23, the NFRCC along with the ten MLAs from the constituencies bordering Assam unequivocally resolved that this project will not be politicized in any manner whatsoever,” stated convenor of the NFHRCC, Supu Jamir after a meeting of the NFRCC in Dimapur on February 21. Jamir continued that the NFHRCC “steadfastly reaffirm and honour the July 23 resolutions”. The NFHRCC thus appealed to the concerned members and the public not to be misled by rumours and confusing press statements.
With regard to the issue raised by the Class I Contractors Union, Wokha through the Kyong Hoho, Jamir informed that a NFHRCC team, led by M. Yanthan (IAS retired) visited the Lotha sector after holding a meeting with Kyong Hoho and contractors union of Wokha on February 15. The team returned with a “clear cut report” stating that the public in that particular sector are fully committed to the project, Jamir said. Making the Lotha Lower Range Public Organisation’s (LLRPO) stand clear, Jamir said that the LLRPO is firm in its commitment to disallow any elements from jeopardising the project.
NFHRCC further urged the PWD (Roads & Bridges) to issue work orders for Mon sector and at the Ao sector at Yajang C. On the bridge over Doyang, NFHRCC asserted that construction must be taken up on priority and at the earliest before the monsoon sets in. Survey of the bridge site is reported to be complete. NFHRCC further resolved to tour the entire length of the foothill road in March.
