Construction works executed as per DPRs specification with 100% completed at Dimapur/Niuland & Tizit divs
Dimapur, July 2 (MExN): The Nagaland Foothill Road Co-ordination Committee (NFHRCC) while appreciating the Government of Nagaland under Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio for sanctioning an amount of Rs 20 crore during 2022-23 fiscal year for ‘motorable Foothills road construction,’ has recommended concerned authority to release the requisite pending bills to the construction firms wherever deem fit.
The NFHRCC also appealed the competent authority of PWD (R&B) to consider constructing the bridge/culvert at these two rivulets to make the road pliable at the earliest.
The recommendation is “performance based,” consequent to joint inspection conducted by a team led by NFHRCC Convenor Supu Jamir, and Co-convenor Hokiye Yepthomi along with committee members and PWD (R&B) Divisional Officials from June 9-10, informed a press release from the committee.
Works of RK Construction (Dimapur/Niuland Division) and M/S HH Con Construction & Supplier (Tizit Division) were inspected during the visit.
On spot verification, it was found on ground that the construction works had been executed as per DPRs specification with 100% completed at both Dimapur/Niuland and Tizit Divisions, it said.
However, on Dimapur Division at Tadi River towards Hovekhu Village and on Niuland and Wokha District boundary of Kimpur River, a medium bridge and a slap culvert respectively is a must to make the Foothills road connectivity complete, it added.
Meanwhile, clarifying on a statement it issued on July 1 regarding Tuli Division executed by M/S W Chingkam Phom & Co, the NFHRCC informed that “contrary to the earlier technical report submitted to us with 75-89% works executed,” NOC (No Objection Certificate) remains pending as there are few public complaints.
Notable complaints have been raised by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), 21 Tuli Mandal Unit and Tuli Joint Council Forum regarding the execution of work from Anaki–C to Yajang-C via the Tsudikong stretch and it need re-verification in accordance with the specifications outlined in the Detailed Project Report (DPR), it added.
