Nagaland to come up with vision document: CM

DIMAPUR, MAY 5 (MExN): Nagaland is set to come up with an exclusive Vision Document for the state in line with India’s North East Vision 2020 and Act East Policy within 2-3 months. This was disclosed by Chief Minister TR Zeliang during a felicitation programme organised by Zeliang Officers’ Association at the Chief Minister’s official residence this evening.   The CM, according to a press note from the CMO, said that he had apprised Prime Minister Narendra Modi about this proposed exclusive Vision Document. The CM had informed the Prime Minister that India already has two exclusive policies for the NE states - North East Vision 2020 and Act East Policy, these were not implemented on the ground. Therefore, he felt it was necessary for Nagaland to have its own exclusive Vision Document in line with the two policies for speedy development of the state.  

This Vision Document is expected to come up within two to three months times, the CM informed while urging people to contribute positive suggestions on any issues like health, education, roads, power, water supply, environment etc so that the State Government can inculcate in the Vision Document.   The CM further said that with the approval of six national highways, Nagaland can expect the best roads within the next five years. He added that with the construction of South East Express Highway in full swing, which is expected to pass through Nagaland, the state will become a main corridor.   The CM further said that a “lot of developments are in the pipeline so people should have confidence in the Government and render full support.”
