DIMAPUR, APRIL 8 (MExN): The Tizit Area Students’ Union (TASU) today informed that it has decided to go ahead with a blockade of the Mon-Namtola road from April 11, if the state government does not address its demands regarding road works in the concerned stretch. A press note from the TASU informed that this decision was taken despite calls from the Executive Engineer (PWD), Mon requesting the union not to undertake the blockade. The TASU said that the response from the PWD “contains no assurance from the state government or the department concerned.” The TASU has served an ultimatum till April 10 for the government to fulfill its demands.
In case of blockade, the TASU informed that school going students, administration, military and police personnel on duty and medical services would be exempted. It meanwhile stated that ISC road (Tizit-Nokzang) is also on the demand list. “The already sanctioned amount of Rs. 36,28,730 to the concerned contractor for the ISC road has not executed the works as per the DPR norms and the completion period has expired with very less work progress,” it said.
