DIMAPUR — Advisor, Industries & Commerce, Hekani Jakhalu, on Monday said that Chümoukedima being a new district, it was an opportunity for her and officers of various departments to lay the foundation to bring about positive change in the district.

Addressing the monthly DPDB meeting of the district at deputy commissioner office conference hall on Monday, Jakhalu said that most of the officers come with great expectations and enthusiasm to bring change but due to “bad legacy,” they find it difficult to change the prevalent system, a DIPR report stated.

However, in the case of Chümoukedima, being a new district, it can be considered a “white slate,” and the officers can play as vital role in laying the foundation to change the system or writing new narratives for the districts. She also reminded all government employees to know the roots from where their “daily bread comes” and that they know the roots they will be sincere and can bring a change.

Expressing her enthusiasm to work together, she also assured the officers to assist and reach out to them in whatever ways she can for the development of the district.

During the meeting, the house reviewed the grant-in-aid for Highland Secondary School, Naga United village, which was deferred again to the next meeting due to incomplete verification. The house also approved the society registration of Chümoukedima District Butchers’ Union and Chümoukedima Gorkha Union.

Other agendas deliberated in the meeting were proposal of road renovation and repair work along Nagaland Zoological Park wall; report on erosional activity at Chathe river and way forward; proposal on acquisition of land for cemetery; proposal on repair of road and drainage in Chümoukedima town; power supply in Chümoukedima town; proposal on rural waste management plan for Seithekema Circle; construction of DCP Office, Chümoukedima and LADP fund for 5 Ghaspani – II AC.
