Dimapur, Nov. 23 (EMN): The Nagaland Foothill Road Coordination Committee (NFHRCC) has appealed to the department concerned to release the running bills to the contractors basing on their performance as agreed upon on July 23, 2022.
NFHRCC has made this appeal following a inspection tour to foothill road construction under Baghty division in Wokha district on the invitation of the PWD (R&B) led by its chief engineer, Kevide Nakhro and the additional chief engineer on November 23.
It mentioned that the road construction is being undertaken by M/S T Tachu & Co and representatives of Lotha Lower Range civil society organisations including LLRPO and YAPO.
