DIMAPUR, DECEMBER 14 (MExN): The Nagaland Foothill Road Coordination Committee (NFHRCC) today informed that the Foothill Road project has been “passing through financial hiccups” for the last two years. A press note from the NFHRCC informed that it held a meeting to discuss the situation and “unanimously resolved to initiate extraordinary measure to medicate the historic project.” However, it informed that the Nagaland Chief Minister has assured that by the end of December 2016 necessary arrangement will be made to execute the remaining 8 Km earth cutting (5 Km at Niuland and 3 Km Naginimora” and in view of which the committee has kept in abeyance the proposed measure. The NFHRCC made it clear that it would resort to the proposed measure in the event of failure on the part of the government to act upon as assured. “Therefore, on the strength of the assurance given by the CM, the committee directed the contractors to sign agreement with the committee to maintain workmanship and to avoid any misunderstanding in the project,” it informed. The NFHRCC urged upon the contractors to get ready for construction by the month of January.
