Ongoing Sanuorü bridge construction on the road leading to Nagaland civil secretariat is being hampered by the continuous flow of garbage through Sanuorü stream during rainy days. The flow of garbage was adding additional burden on the contractors and labourers, who keep removing the garbage to prevent the stream from clogging.
However, on Thursday, the stream got blocked because of the garbage and the workers had to remove debris leaving aside their normal construction work.
Speaking to Nagaland Post at the construction site, EE PWD (R&B) south division, Er. Vizotuo Seletsu, appealed to the public to stop throwing garbage into the stream so the workers could concentrate on their work. He said that in spite of all the constraints, the contractors, engineers and labourers were all out to ensure that the work did not get hampered. However, he said the continuous flow of garbage was quite burdensome since the labourers had to be engaged in removing garbage day and night.
He said the third foundation was about to begin, but were hesitant because of the inclement weather. Nevertheless, he said by September 16 they could be able to start the work.
Seletsu said though the cost of the bridge was Rs. 20 crore, the state government could give only Rs. 60 lakh as first sanction. Despite that the contractors were giving their best to bring out the bridge to shape. He expressed regret that in spite of the relentless effort, the severe criticism and complaints were not very pleasant. However, he said on completion, Nagaland would have the first four-lane arch bridge very soon. In this regard, he said all the people involved in the construction must be encouraged.
Meanwhile, the engineer has sought cooperation from all responsible citizens so the bridge was completed on time.
