Dimapur, Oct. 16 (EMN): A group of youngsters in Chandmari in Kohima town have informed to have filled in potholes along a stretch of a road in the area. The social work was undertaken with the objective to creating a sense of responsibility ‘toward maintenance and repair of road in the neighbourhood,’ a note from a group calling itself simply ‘Young People’ stated on Monday.
The concerned young people from block-6 of lower Chandmari embarked on a collective drive to fill the potholes and levelling the road connecting lower Chandmari to AG in the town, the updates informed. “They undertook this exercise looking at the hardship faced everyday by pedestrians and vehicles plying that particular stretch, taking turns to finish the repair work, aided by contributions in cash and kind from residents of block-6,” the note from the group informed.
“For this project 20 trips of pickup truck carrying road metalling stone were used to fill up the potholes and a road roller (donated by PWD, Mechanical department) was pressed into service in levelling the road and a total of 3 street lights were also installed. These young people carried out the work by themselves taking turns to finish the project.”
The group has expressed appreciation to all those who assisted in making the project a success.
