Dimapur, May 17 (EMN): SARDP Sumi Area Affected Landowners Welfare Committee (SSAALWC) has resolved to suspend all work of the ongoing 2- lane road project under Sumi jurisdiction (eight villages) with effect from May 17 following the failure of the government to address their concerns as per the joint resolution adopted on March 20 with Sumi Hoho and all Sumi Frontal Organisations.

In a statement on Monday, SSAALWC stated that it re-affirmed the earlier resolutions (dated August 28, 2019, February 17, March 6 and March 20). It said that the total suspension of work was for an indefinite period (till the standing property damage compensation is paid to all the beneficiaries under SARDP-NE Road Project/2nd Phase). “The contractors are advised to move away all the machineries from site with immediate effect. Failure to comply will be penalised individually and seizure of machinery(s),” it read.“During the period of total cessation of work, if any law enforcement agency(s) harass, arrest, etc. to any genuine landowner(s), the eight (8) villages will collectively take the issue for necessary action,” it added.
It has further resolved not to attend any meeting hereafter till the compensation amount is sanctioned by the authority.
