Dimapur, November 23 (MExN): The public of Khaghaboto, Niuland and Aghunaqa areas are irked by stoppage of work at the two-lane Dhansiri Bridge between Shozuku village and Zukihe village. According to Jacob Zhimomi, Chairman of the Khaghaboto Area Kukami Kuqhakulu, the public has seriously viewed that there “could be gross manipulation behind the non completion of the bridge which is the life line of many villages under Niuland sub-division and also intersect the interstate road of Bokajan-Wokha.”
It is alleged that the concerned agency funding the project has reportedly released the entire fund meant for the project but on contrary the construction company is said to have not received the payment for the works already been done. Zhimomi said the public is of the view that the State department and Construction Company have violated the contract agreement rules and questions the holdup of work for about 2 years. He is said that company has even shifted entire machinery elsewhere.
In this regard, Zhimomi said he had filed RTI to the office of Executive Engineer, Road & Bridges, Dimapur Division who was not in a position to furnish the detail information and directed him to approach the Chief Engineer’s office at state capital.
Zhimomi said it is completely ridiculous on the concerned department and the company to have neglected a vital project and behalf of the public of three areas has urged the department and the company to come to a negotiating table and sort out the differences and resume the work at the earliest in the interest of the village people, otherwise the agitated public may even resort to agitation creating tricky situation.
