Tuensang, January 30: The Clock Tower at Tuensang Town, which was constructed in the 70’s and last renovated in the early nineties, saw a total face-lift given by the Facebook Group, The Tuensang Voice. The idea to renovate the tower took its seed as members of the group shared ideas on how they could contribute to the welfare and beautification of the town. Members of the group divulged that they took up the decision to renovate the tower after seeing the pathetic condition of the tower vandalized by irresponsible citizens and negligence in maintaining the tower by the concerned authority.
The Tuensang Voice went on an online donation drive since last November and held a jumble sale of clothes and other items early this month, donated by well-wishers from all over the state. With contribution from as far as Delhi and Kerala the donation amounted to Rs. 1.05 lakhs with which the members of the Facebook group renovated the tower over a week from January 7 to 14. Members of The Tuensang Voice expressed their gratefulness to each individual that came forward to help in renovating the tower successfully, including shopkeepers from the town who donated willingly. Renovating the tower was the fourth initiative undertaken by The Tuensang Voice that materialized fruitfully. Earlier, the group had conducted Mission Pothole, Mission Hospital and Initiative of Change, Nagaland Chapter.
