A tribute to Messrs KC Angami & Sons and Vilelie Khamo
It is most unfortunate that even after over 50 years of Statehood Nagaland has the worst kind of roads.lt is a insult to the collective dignity of the public to be treated in a most humitating way by being denied something which should be the most basic of public amenities available.
To say that this deplorable state of affairs is on account of lack of funds has been totally debunked by the scandalous revelation through the glorious effort of two PIL petitioners who have revealed that the Finance Department through 62 drawal authority letters has issued a mindboggling amount of Rs. 342,22,08,000 (Rupees three hundred and forty two crore twenty lacks and eight thousand) to the PWD (Roads and Bridges) from May 2016 to March 2017. With the judicious use of that kind of money, all roads in Nagaland could well be paved with gold and silver
Then again to say that it is because of too much rain that we can never have good roads has been resoundly rubbished when we look at the outstanding roads constructed by Messrs KC Angami & Sons and Vilelie Khamo. It is about 3 years ago that the road from TCP gate Kohima Town all the way down to Botsa Town was tarmacked yet there is still no sign of any potholes. Three summers of torrential rains are yet to make any dent on the roads with the exception of sorne depression/sinking areas.
This is truly a testimony to their- professional integrity and accountability to the general public. It is because they love and care for the public that they have not cut corners and compromised on the quality of their work which could very well be much to the consternation and displeasure of the bureaucrats and technocrats as long lasting roads do not particularly excite them for obvious reasons.
On behalf of the public I pay you sirs, the highest tribute for your outstanding job.
May the good Lord bless you richly with increase in every way and do continue to render the same kind of services wherever and whenever you are called upon to do so. Nagaland is proud to have conscientious contracters like you all.
