Naga Students' Federation Calls for NHIDCL Removal Over Dimapur-Kohima Highway Issues
The Naga Students' Federation (NSF) has urged the Centre and Nagaland government to remove NHIDCL as the implementing agency for the Dimapur-Kohima stretch of NH-29, citing poor workmanship, delayed repairs, and inadequate maintenance. The NSF highlighted safety risks, including rockfalls and damaged road infrastructure, especially during monsoon and nighttime. It questioned the issuance of a completion certificate for Package-II despite ongoing deficiencies and called for an immediate inquiry by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways into the project's execution and maintenance.
