CVC asks govt to repair, construct roads
Chümoukedima Village Council (CVC) has expressed dismay over the dismal condition of roads under Chümoukedima jurisdiction, left neglected by the PWD department.
Despite Chümoukedima town being recognized as one of the fastest growing township in India with an exploding population, CVC chairman Razouvotuo Chatsu wondered as to why the town continues to have the most neglected roads.
Chatsu said not a single road within Chümoukedima is pliable, as no repair works or road construction had been taken up for the past 20 years. This has made the public undergo untold hardships even to commute for basic amenities and the worst affected are the school children and ailing patients, in need of medical attention, who has to suffer through the trench-like potholes and natural reservoirs of rainwater on the main roads, he added.
He pointed out that the major lifeline road– 7th mile-Shokhuvi road connecting Peren district, 2nd Gate to Chümoukedima village which also connects the first and only NIT of the state besides the colony and ward approach roads are in pathetic, deplorable condition, unfit even for commuters on foot.
With the arrival of the monsoon season, Chatsu said the conditions of the roads are expected to worsen and dilemma of the public will only follow suit.
While assuring fullest cooperation to the government for any developmental works, CVC appealed to the government, particularly PWD minister and PWD (R&B) and Ghaspani-I MLA to take cognizance of the untold hardships of the people.
The council also urged the government to include repair works/road constructions in the work programme on priority list of road construction projects to be undertaken for the current year 2019.
