The secret of National Highway 61

Neingu Anga Neikh: Enroute Wokha via Tseminyu!  

I have been travelling regularly through this road since the past couple of years - primarily for my job, serving the 'Government'. And well, after all these while, I am now ready to quit my job and turn into a professional BELLY DANCER - thanks to all the TURNS and TWISTS and TWERKS and JERKS and BOUNDS from the road that have honed and polished my skills up to this professional level!  

My sincere gratitude goes out to the government, the contractors, who came up with this brilliant idea of 'reaching out' and 'giving back' to the people for the service rendered and the faith and support reposed in their 'safe hands'!   Looking forward to seeing professionals at the international level who will bring laurels to and showcase the brilliance of the National Highway Dance Academy prevalent in the state to the world!   KUKNALIM!!!!  

Kenneth J Rengma: As concern citizens if we are following newspapers, the fact about why the road repairing has not turned into a reality has been published time and again by Rengma and Lotha civil society - the fact is Corruption+favouritism+Napotism+ Discrimination. Why I mentioned discrimination because none of our local contractors are qualified for this global project mastermind by state policy makers. So the rich and big contractors begin a big fight to earn good public money out of the project. Whereas the consumers of the road are faced with untold misery as you all have experienced. So also this road has put shame to the leader s of the community for not taking action but what do we do. Should we kill the culprits for corruption they are doing out of this project /should we make damage to someone for the good cause!! That cannot be expected in a civilised society. What the public in the area are doing is atleast requesting the dumb and blind Govt., who never hear and see. So If we all want to see a change let us all help each other to make this Govt. see what will happen and what is going to happen. Let’s wait and see what is coming in at National Hell Way 61... I hope to see every concern members as we begin our MISSION SOON.    

Enemies of our society

Robert N Solo: When I look at the greatest enemies of our society, I find politicians top the list followed by underground, bureaucrats and contractors. These are the people who contribute so much for church buildings which are not in God's name. If we are to build God's temple and please him then the process should be clean. Mr. Suresh Khatri was right when he said, "Nagas need to listen to God more often than just praying and telling Him our needs." I also feel that we use the name of God to do what we want and not what God wants. If we read the book written by Rabbi Jonathan Sacks with a title "Not in God's Name" we feel that book is written for us. How could the churches keep silent when somebody says, "Nagaland For Christ" and do everything against Him? Instead of correcting them some pastors are encouraging by going there to pray for them, when a girl conceive without marriage she is either expelled or made to confess in front of the crowd but when ministers steal poor people's money, underground kill and extort rampantly you welcome them because of the reason best known to you. I have never heard of expelling bureaucrats for stealing poor people's rights. Money for disabilities have just vanished in a thin air and we know who are responsible. Yet we pray for the handicaps and welcome the thieves moreover happily accept corrupt money to build God's temple. If you can punish and expel poor boys and girls for having sex, why not the same punishment is applied to the rich corrupt contractors too.
