Deputy Commissioner (DC) Dimapur, Kesonyu Yhome while speaking at the inauguration of newly added colony in Dimapur, Seikhohen Memorial (SM) on Monday spoke on the importance of civic sense.
Felicitating the colony on behalf of district administration, Yhome reminded the community that the colony leaders’ task for the colony started today and as a resident of urban area, bigger problem of waste management lay ahead. In this respect, he said that the colony as a community should inculcate civic sense. “Colony recognition is a good thing but it is the beginning of responsibility” he added.
Yhome lamented on the lack of civic sense and sense of responsibility among “us” though educational qualification and degrees have been acquired.
He advocated that possessing “self-centred” mindset would not enable us to progress and therefore, he asked the gathering to stop blaming the government and municipal and start contributing consumer civic sense and education.
He further called upon SM Colony community to extend co-operation with various departments for a better tomorrow and change their mindset with the change of time.
