Mokokchung, March 4 (MExN): The Tzürangkong Students' Conference (TKM) today appealed for “immediate intervention” of the Officer Commanding, 100 RCC GREF in the repair of Mariani-Mokokchung road.
In a letter to the Officer Commanding, 100 RCC GREF, TKM highlighted that the stretch of road from Tsudapela police check gate to Mokokchung Town (commonly called the Mariani road), which connects Mokokchung to Assam, is in a pathetic condition since the past many years.
The TKM stressed that the stretch of road is considered as the economic lifeline of not only Mokokchung district, but also other districts like Zunheboto, Tuensang in Nagaland. Most of the commercial trucks ply on the road ferrying essential commodity from Jorhat district in Assam, it stated. Besides, there are thousands of commuters who travel on this road every day.
However, the students’ conference maintained, the pathetic road condition with the “craterlike potholes” is causing a lot of inconvenience to the travelers. It equally expressed concern that after the onset of monsoon season, the condition of the road will further deteriorate and the rains will hamper any repairing works after a few months from now.
In light of this, TKM has urged the Officer Commanding to impress upon the competent authority in the BRO to repair the road at the earliest in the interest of the whole community.
The letter was appended by TKM General Secretarym, Sunep Yaden and President, L Alem Jamir.
