Meriema Youth Withdraw Government Vehicle Ban After NH-2 Repair Assurances
The Meriema Village Youth Organisation (MVYO) initially imposed a ban on government-registered vehicles entering Meriema village from July 1, demanding urgent repairs to the deteriorating NH-2 highway after repeated appeals went unaddressed. Following a consultative meeting with Kohima district authorities, PWD officials, and the contractor, assurances were given that repair work would commence promptly. Consequently, the MVYO withdrew the proposed ban, with the contractor committing to mobilize materials by July 2 to resume repairs.
