Naga Students' Federation Raises Concerns Over NHIDCL Road Projects in Nagaland
The Naga Students' Federation (NSF) has raised concerns about poor workmanship, delays, and safety issues in National Highways Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) road projects across Nagaland. The NSF highlighted the upgraded four-lane Dimapur-Kohima highway, noting damage such as collapsed side walls, inadequate slope protection, poor drainage, and insufficient maintenance despite a 2023 completion certificate and a five-year Defect Liability Period. The federation also pointed to design deficiencies in bridges, lack of safety features, and called for inspections and repairs across multiple projects.
