Kohima, May 17 (MExN): Bayavü Area Panchayat (BAP) has lamented the “inability” of the department concerned to repair the “most important stretch” of the colony’s main road, while also appreciating the road maintenance works (black topping) recently undertaken in some parts of the colony.
A press release from Khinyi Woch, Chairman and Kechangulie Kense, General Secretary of BAP stated that the particular stretch of road which runs through the entire colony serves as a lifeline for not only the colony residents, but is also an alternative road connecting Kohima Town, Secretariat, and High School area. However, the road is in a very dilapidated and deplorable condition and its repair is long overdue, it added.
The Panchayat further highlighted the long felt need for proper road at Bayavü in the interest of not only the residents of the colony, but in view of some important offices being located there. “Many people coming from outside to Kohima, be it Indians or foreigners, tend to visit the State Museum as well as our NBCC office. Hence, the Bayavü Panchayat had been relentlessly pursuing the maintenance and repair of this road with the competent authority,” it stated.
In light of the above, the Bayavü Area Panchayat has urged the competent authority to take cognizance of the importance of the particular stretch of road and repair the same in the larger interest of the general public of Kohima Town and the colony in particular.
