4 ward youth associations appeal DC to make immediate repairs

Mokokchung, August 24 (MExN): Residents of four wards in Mokokchung town have submitted a representation to the Mokokchung Deputy Commissioner seeking immediate repairs of the road leading to the Dr Imkongliba Memorial District Hospital (IMDH).

The representation, on behalf of the residents, was submitted by Imlikumzuk, Lanulemba Longchar, Nungsangyanger, and Lanunungsang, who are the Presidents of the Penli Ward Youth Association, Majakong Ward Youth Association, Lijaba Lijen Ward Youth Association, and Artang Ward Youth Association respectively.

In the representation, the youth leaders stated that the IMDH road starting from the main Police Point till Sewak Gate junction, measuring about 2 Kms, is in a deplorable state. The hospital can be reached by road from two directions, that is, from Police Point and from Sewak Gate sides, both of which are under utterly deplorable conditions at the moment, it stated.

“Apart from the inconveniences caused to the regular commuters, the deplorable condition of the road is aggravating as it poses immense health risks to the sick and needy travelling to the hospital for medical attention,” the youth leaders pointed out.

Further, the representation stated that the residents of the four wards have been repairing the road from time to time on their own in public interest “as the concerned authority have always turned a blind eye to this most vital road for reasons best known to them.”

“However, we have now run out of patience and we, therefore, appeal to your authority to ensure that the whole stretch of the hospital road is repaired immediately,” the representation stated.

Failure on the part of the authority concerned to immediately repair the road shall be considered as apathy towards public welfare and safety, it cautioned, adding that residents would resort to their own course of action to demonstrate their dissatisfaction if the road is not repaired immediately as demanded.
