Kohima, May 17 (MExN): The Kezoma Village Council has asked the Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) to hold a consultative meeting with the village to make an “agreement amendment” prior to the inauguration of the Kohima water supply project “in order to avoid hindrances by the future generation”.
The Council in a press release informed that it had along with Mima Village unanimously made a consensus agreement with the state PHED on February 15, 2010 to bring Zarü (Dzüü) River water supply to Kohima. The signatories of the agreement with the PHED were: Neisakuo Mekro, Chairman Kezoma Village Council; Dusaho, Hd. GB Kezoma; Tsopi Rulu, Chairman Mima Village Council; and Vipfetso Shünyü, Hd. GB Mima.
Expressing concern that the PHED department has been constructing the pumping mission and pipeline connection works and publishing on local dailies by acknowledging Mima Village as the "sole owner" of the Zarü (Dzüü) River, the Kezoma Village Council contended, “When the agreement was been made to that far and if things goes on that way, it may bring dissatisfaction on the side of both the villages.”
Arguing that it had together with Mima Village Council and the concern Department made the agreement, the Council expressed trust that the department will not deprive them of their share of credit.
