Says company must first complete the projects under SARDP Phase-1 in Nagaland
DIMAPUR, APRIL 13 (MExN): The Nagaland Contractors’ & Suppliers’ Union (NCSU) on Wednesday declared that it will not allow Mayatas and Gayatri (JV) to execute the four-laning of Dimapur-Kohima National Highway project until the firm complete the 4 projects under SARDP Phase-1 in Nagaland. The 4 projects in question include construction of two laning road of Longleng – Changtongya road; Mon – Tamlu-Merangkong road, Phek – Pfütsero road, and Zunheboto – Chakhabama road.
The reaction from the NCSU comes in the backdrop of the announcement that Mayatas and Gayatri (JV) had bagged a work order worth Rs 340 crore from the Government of India for four-laning of the Dimapur-Kohima road. The NCSU, in a representation addressed to the Minister of Road Transport and Highway, Nitin Gadkhari, said it has been overwhelmed with the announcement of the four-laning of the Dimapur-Kohima National Highway. It however expressed astonishment that the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd (NHIDCL) and Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) had awarded the work order to the firm despite its failure to to complete the 4 projects under SARDP Phase-I in Nagaland.
