Longleng CSOs Give One Week Ultimatum Over Two-Lane Highway

Civil society organisations (CSOs) in Longleng district have demanded immediate restoration of the deteriorating Changtongya–Longleng two-lane road and sought a detailed status report on the stalled construction within one week.

The demand followed a consultative meeting convened under the Phom Peoples' Council (PPC) to discuss welfare and development concerns. PPC president YB Angam Phom said prolonged non-maintenance had caused hardship to commuters and affected transportation, local commerce and the district's development.

The meeting urged authorities to undertake immediate restoration and maintenance to ensure public safety and convenience. It resolved to pursue the matter with relevant government departments and agencies until action was taken. The CSOs said they had submitted representations and held meetings with the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL), the district administration and the executing company but alleged no concrete action had followed.

They demanded a comprehensive inspection report on the road's condition and construction progress be submitted to the CSOs office within one week, explaining delays and outlining a roadmap for completion and maintenance. The organisations cautioned that if authorities failed to submit the report and initiate corrective measures within the period they would be held responsible for any future actions the CSOs might take. The release noted that sections of the highway were waterlogged and damaged, compounding commuter difficulty and impeding movement of goods.
