“NH-2 on step motherly treatment for the last 13 years”; “Come rain, Come sunshine, NH2 awaits you with potholes”; “Planning to buy a new car, buy a Monster Truck”; “Please wear helmet inside your car”; “Handover NH-2 to tourism department for adventure tourism-huge scope”. These are the messages on some, among the many, posters along the stretch of 40 km to 72 km between Tseminyu and Wokha.
The posters are part of a campaign launched by Rengma Selo Zi (RSZ) on June 4 in support of Rengma Hoho and Lotha Hoho call for indefinite bandh of NH-2 after the state government failed to respond to the two Hohos’ ultimatum.
Some of the other posters read: “Road money for roads, not for palatial private residences”; “NH-2 awaiting revival for the last 13 years”; “Good roads- mother of development”; “Welcome to no concern zone”; “When you go home, tell them of me and say for your tomorrow that you almost got drowned here today. Sincerely, NH-2”; “Come summer we give you experience of muddy slides, come winter we give you experience of dusts”; “Do not travel through NH2 if you do not know how to swim”; “NH2 pothole Hotspot of India”; “Please save lives, repair NH2”; “Warning!!! Swimming not allowed”; “Roads are meant to create better communication, not to create health complications”; “A decade-long preparation of DPR for NH2 construction is likely to be ready after One Decade. Maybe!!!”; “Watch the road, it's not safe to read and drive here.”
