Naga Students Demand Prompt Restoration of Traffic Highway

Kohima, Nov 12 : The Naga Students' Federation (NSF) today expressed anguish over the delay in restoration of traffic on National Highway 39, the lifeline between Nagaland and Manipur.

In a release NSF president Mutsikhoyo Yhobu criticized the 'poor workmanship' of the Border Road Task Force (BRTF), an organization under the Border Roads Organization (BRO), which is responsible for the maintenance of the highway.

The highway has been closed for about four months following landslide in some portions.

It said the BRTF failed to maintain the road.

He said the people of Nagaland were patiently waiting that the damaged portion of the road at the KMC Dumping Site would be restored soonest.
