Dimapur, July 13 (MExN): The Sumi Aphuyemi Kuqhakulu Dimapur (SAKD) stated in a press release that the 4th mile bridge collapse has affected more than 120 villages living over the other side of the river bank in the western area. SAKD therefore, appeal to the department concerned to immediately repair the alternative road from Seithekima-Patkai and make it pliable. It also appeal to the sensible citizens and Dimapur district based NGOs to cooperate with the district administration to immediately stop lifting of sand gravels without the further delay so as to avoid such kind of incidents at various places like CIHSR (Referral Hospital) and other bridges in and around Dimapur. Meanwhile, SAKD president Sukhavi Swu and General Secretary Tovishe Assumi while expressing shock and grieve over the tragic incident, regretted that “some NGOs immediately jump into conclusion without ascertaining the reasons of collapse and seeking the resignation of Y Vikheho Swu, Minister for PWD (R7B) Nagaland.”
