Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio today remarked on the potentials Medziphema has in becoming a “satellite township.” Rio while inaugurating the ADC (Additional Deputy Commissioner) headquarters here at the VFA ground, Medziphema, said that the town is ideally located and suited to develop into a cosmopolitan town. With the benefit of being a “mid-way” town, Rio said Medziphema could well turn into a business hub as well as a model township.

Pointing out the strong foundations of Medziphema with twenty-one government departments, three banks, two government high schools and twenty-three primary schools, the Chief Minister expressed hope that the addition of ADC headquarters would also receive extended cooperation from the citizens of the area. Taking note of the vast availability of unused land around the area, Rio urged the public to have a big heart in order to usher in big developments. Provide land so that people can set up business and invest in the area, Rio encouraged the people.

The Chief Minister stressed on the need for self-reliance; terming the government as only a “facilitator” when it comes to development. He said the government can only teach and encouraged the public to work to support the government. Rio, dwelling on the poor quality of assets in the state, pointed out that such development will only lead to wastage of time and resources. If you invest quality seeds then you get quality results, he said. 

On the new ADC headquarters, Rio focused on the duties of the administrative officers while also reminding the public to render support to the officers. Rio said he hoped to see the new Medziphema ADC headquarters as being one of the best and encouraged the citizens of the town to encourage its growth.

Meanwhile, the inauguration programme was attended by H Kekhiho Zhimomi, Rajya Sabha MP, Speaker, Nagaland Legislative Assembly, and a host of cabinet ministers, parliamentary secretaries and members of the Nagaland legislative assembly. Cultural troupes of various tribes and villages also performed at the function.
