Levi Rengma for Nagaland House in Imphal, Manipur House in Dimapur

  Kohima, April 11 (NEPS): Parliamentary Secretary for PWD (Housing), Er. Levi Rengma said he was working out to have projects for constructions of Nagaland House in Imphal and Medical Lodge near NEIGRIHMS, Shillong while also mooting to ask his counterpart in Manipur to construct Manipur Guest House in Dimapur.  He disclosed this while talking to NEPS here on Tuesday.   The Parliamentary Secretary said the present area of the Nagaland Transport Service (NST) Complex in Imphal could be utilized for construction of multi-story Nagaland House while the ground floor could be used for the NST services.   “At the same time, I would like to initiate discussion with my counterpart in Manipur to have their Manipur Guest House at their present Manipur State Transport Road Corporation (MSTRC) complex at Dimapur,” he explained.   He said hundreds of travelers and students have been going to various parts of the country while almost the same numbers returning to Manipur. Once they have their own Guest House in Dimapur, the travelers will have a lot of convenience as they can use the Guest House securely and peacefully at affordable rates, Rengma opined. “When there is bandh in Assam, they can stay in the Guest House till such time bandh is lifted. Even those Manipur bound travelers and students will also peacefully stay in their Guest House as and when there is bandhs, blockades or landslides on Highways in Nagaland sector or Manipur sector,” he reasoned.   Similarly, he said, many travelers from Nagaland regularly visit Imphal for treatment, business and educational purposes. “To have a Nagaland Guest House at Imphal is a long felt one and I am working out for Projects for this,” said Rengma. “We are also working out to have a Medical Lodge near NEIGRIHMS, Shillong too. We have our land there.”
