ROB work: <\/strong>Zeliang expressed satisfaction with the quality and progress of the ongoing Road Over Bridge work. He acknowledged delays caused by restrictions from the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation (NHIDCL), which had initially barred vehicular movement on the Dimapur bypass road leading to Patkai Junction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, after persistent appeals from the state government, he said vehicular movement was permitted, although the road has yet to be officially inaugurated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zeliang revealed that the contractor had been urged to expedite the project to meet the November deadline, particularly in light of the upcoming Hornbill Festival and festive season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added that the contractor already had the necessary precast blocks in stock and expressed optimism that the RoB would be completed within November, although the initial commitment was for December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
