In the year 1964, Nagaland achieved full-fledged statehood, even after completion of 50 years (golden Jubilee) was celebrated in 2014, but Wokha district remain hindered most why because the government of Nagaland ‘Hocus-Pocus’ lip service only. politicians like to talk about 'corruption' that is just to sound good, they do not practice what they preach, like the full moon, if they are kept at once they diminish day by day.  

It is extremely lamented Wokha district. There is not a single important government manufactured set-up, central government established 2 (two) numbers of factories one Doyang Hydro-Electric Project (DHEP) and other Gas Petroleum at Changpang in Wokha district but not Nagaland Government sponsored.  

The Global Open University, Nagaland was established in Wokha district immediately shifted to Dimapur, Central Government constructed border road from Wokha - Ralan -Bokajan to Dimapur black topping maintained like mirror, but Government of Nagaland 'kick out' taken up by the Government of Nagaland PWD (R&B) but totally neglected, no maintenance due to 'corruption' and the Wokha Ralan - Bokajan road is now abandoned.  

This said road is not for Wokha district alone but for many districts such as Mon, Tuensang, Zunheboto and Mokokchung could have able to reach Dimapur at no time like one stone killing two birds. So also when Assam agitation and banned called, the Nagas can take advantage and go through these road towards Dimapur avoiding Assam. But due to Nagaland Government lack of knowledge and lackadaisical abandoned. This road like sitting on the tree cutting below, failing together both the man and the tree and dies the man.  

It is surprised to note that Wokha district when it is dry the road become dusty and when it rains the roads becomes like fishery ponds. No power election light, scarcity of water, All India Radio Kohima Station Lotha Naga programme 30 minutes and constantly 'entrapped' few minutes listeners are not happy the matter was reported to the station director but turn deaf ears. Under what circumstances people of Wokha face like this, there are several NGOs groups like Tribal Hoho, Women Hoho and Students' Union etc but people of Wokha district honest, religious minded they do not like to harass the government, that is why remain silent spectator and they do not claim their share legitimate right.  

Government of Nagaland declared slogan signify on 13th March 2010 Wokha district is "the land of plenty" for that reason due to jealousy government of Nagaland neglected Wokha that is why Wokha remains still hindermost but adage saying goes -more people die of jealousy then of cancer that is 100% true according to the writer's experience.
