Nagaland: News in pictures

The National Highway-702A stretch between Satakha and Kilomi has been fully reopened to regular traffic following the clearance of landslide debris that had blocked the highway for nearly a week on August 2. The road was affected by a major landslide triggered by continuous rainfall, with a large volume of mud, rocks and debris spilling onto the highway and disrupting vehicular movement. The Bima Company Limited, engaged by the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL), carried out clearance operations for more than a week to restore normal traffic movement along the affected stretch. According to officials, the debris has now been completely cleared and both heavy and light vehicles are able to ply the route normally.

 

The Nagaland State Rural Livelihoods Mission (NSRLM) has organised Seasonal Bazaar in Kohima from September 9 and 10 with an objective to promote natural produce, homemade items, and community-driven rural enterprises. The Bazaar featured a wide range of farm-fresh goods and indigenous products brought directly by SHGs from Wokha district. According to the NSRLM, the initiative aims to create consumer awareness about locally available rural produce, create reliable direct-to-consumer market avenues for small producers, and explore scope for upscaling their market reach beyond village borders. This event was promoted under the theme 'Go green, Eat fresh and Support Local.”
