Work on the highly anticipated Foothill Road will continue as scheduled. The uncertainty that followed the fate of the project after the Kyong Hoho’s appeal for “temporary suspension” of work has been laid to rest.
The Nagaland Foothill Road Coordination Committee (NFHRCC) convened an emergency meeting on Saturday in Dimapur to hammer out a solution and end the stalemate. The meeting, lasting over five hours, was attended by representatives from the Kyong Hoho and Class I Contractors Union, Wokha. The Kyong Hoho was led by its chairman, Yansathung Jami.
The Kyong Hoho had in a statement, which was published in the local dailies, appealed that work be temporarily suspended pending a solution to the Class I Contractors Union, Wokha contending that none of its members were allotted work in the project. This contention was at the crux of discussions at today’s meeting.
The house finally resolved that the Kyong Hoho would take up the matter as early as possible with the Class I contractors Union, Wokha to reconsider its contention, keeping in mind the interest and survival of the project. Considering the gravity of the issue, the Kyong Hoho requested that it be given ample time to sort out the differences with the contractors.
The NFHRCC after the meeting stated, “After much deliberation, the NFHRCC along with the Kyong Hoho in conjunction with the Class I Contractors Union, Wokha, the committee after examining the pros and cons of the issue granted three days to the Kyong Hoho to solve the pertaining issue which is still pending before the Kyong Hoho.”
Meanwhile, the Lotha Lower Range Public Organisation asserted its commitment to the completion of the road, declaring that it will not allow any party or individual to interfere with the progress of the project.
