A worker at the construction site informed that they are planning to complete the construction by April, possibly before Nagaland host the official G20 dialogue forum’s Business 20 (B20) ‘Conference of on Opportunities for Multilateral Business Partnerships in Agriculture and Food Processing’ in Kohima from April 4-6.

Incidentally, the proposed gate is being built on the side of the National Highway-29, though the previous gate was located overhead covering the whole highway before it was dismantled for four-lane project of Dimapur to Kohima search.
