NFHRCC Urges State Government to Expedite Road Construction

Key Highlights from the Report: Urgency of Construction: The NFHRCC has raised concerns over the slow progress of the foothills road project, which is crucial for better connectivity in the Naga hills region. The committee has urged the state government and the PWD to take immediate action to expedite the project and ensure its timely completion.

It will also play a significant role in improving access to remote areas, supporting local communities, and promoting economic development.

The NFHRCC has called for more effective coordination between the state government and the PWD to resolve these issues.

Benefits of Expedited Completion: An expedited construction process would help alleviate ongoing transportation difficulties in the region, reduce travel time, and enhance mobility for both residents and businesses. It would also contribute to the overall development of the area, improving access to markets, healthcare, and educational facilities.

Government's Commitment: The state government has expressed commitment to the project, acknowledging its importance for regional growth. However, NFHRCC has emphasized the need for increased focus and prioritization to overcome the current delays.

Public Support: The NFHRCC has garnered support from local communities and stakeholders, all of whom recognize the long-term benefits of the foothills road in improving the quality of life for residents in the area.

Conclusion: The foothills road construction project is a key infrastructure development in Nagaland. With the NFHRCC's appeal, there is renewed pressure on the state government and PWD to address delays and ensure the project’s swift completion, which will be essential for the region’s growth and connectivity.
