While appealing the district administration to take up the matter with great urgency, MTLT alleged that the recent two incidents of deaths in accidents along this road have been due to the deplored and narrow road conditions. Further, the BRO/GREF claimed, “Work on Mokokchung-Mariani road is in full swing and will be completed before onset of monsoon” and published it in one of the newspapers. However, as per the MDTOA on-spot verification, no work progress is there on record. The BRO/GREF must issue a corrigendum accordingly, the MTLT stated. The MTLT also appeals all individuals to bear the inconveniences and continue supporting the MDTOA.
Meanwhile, in another press release, it stated that the PMEGP 2012-2013 beneficiaries under Mokokchung district had written to the MTLT with regard to the unresponsiveness of the banks in releasing the funds. “Though the Deputy Commissioner had already given official written directives to the concerned banks for the release of the funds, the banks have not released the funds till date,” the release informed. The MTLT met the managers of the Allahabad Bank and the Bank of Baroda on May 6 2014 and asked the concerned banks to heed the directives of the Deputy Commissioner. The MTLT intimated the banks that failure to follow the directives will invite stern action from the MTLT.
The MTLT expresses gratitude to the three villages namely, Aliba, Chungtia Kinunger and well-wishers for the voluntary repair works along the Mokokchung-Mariani road on May 3, 2014.
