DIMAPUR, FEBRUARY 17 (MExN): NPF Legislature Party Leader, TR Zeliang, accompanied by Er. Picto Shohe, today inaugurated 6 village council halls in Peren, constructed under the RURBAN Mission 2017-18. 

The halls were inaugurated at Punglwa-B Village, Gaili Village, Gaili Namdi Village, Heningkunglwa Village, Ngwalwa Village and Nothern Zeme Council Hall, Ngwalwa Town.  

Exhorting the gathering, Zeliang said that the National RURBAN Mission was a successful project under Ngwalwa Cluster, which consisted of Heningkunglwa village, Ngwalwa Village, Ngwalwa Hq, Gaili and Punglwa. He urged the gathering to work sincerely and for all round development cutting across political affiliations. 

He said that people should compete in bringing development and not compete in vilifying each other on social and print media. Whichever political party is in power, their sole aim should be for the development of the area and a healthy competition should be held as to which party can bring more development to their area, he added. 

Zeliang meanwhile recalled that when he and his party was running the government, he did not ask of the implementing agency or department officials of various schemes and projects to differentiate between his political party workers and the rest. Instead, Zeliang claimed he asked that development be brought about for the whole area and the people regardless of their political allegiance. He called for a united stand for development of the area given the suitable geography of the land for various cultivation and plantations. 

Zeliang also expressed optimism that given the successful implementation of RURBAN, many would be inspired and many more schemes and projects would be in the offing, should the people of the area continue to support and cooperate with the implementing agencies. 

Short speeches were also delivered by all the 6 village council’s chairmen along with MLA, Er Picto Shohe, Kelie Zeliang, Commissioner & Secretary;  Azenou, PD, DRDA, Peren; and Sh Iteising, BDO, Peren.
