The Civil Administration Works Division (CAWD) on Friday reviewed the progress of the under-construction Deputy Commissioner’s (DC) Office Complexes in Dimapur and Niuland. The inspection was led by Assistant Chief Engineer (ACE), CAWD, Er Sungtiba Amer, who visited the project sites along with CAWD officials, administrative officers, engineer and representatives of the executing contractors.
At the Dimapur site, Er Amer said the project was progressing satisfactorily and underscored the need to maintain quality workmanship throughout the construction period.
He informed that the original work order was for 24 months with effect from November 7, 2025. However, since construction could begin only after the completion of the dismantling of the old building, the effective work period is to be extended by seven months.
The project comprises a modern G+2 Deputy Commissioner’s Office Complex designed by the Chief Architect, PWD (Planning & Design), with CAWD serving as the executing agency.
Later in the day, the CAWD team also inspected the Deputy Commissioner’s Office Complex at Niuland, where they were joined by Deputy Commissioner, TL Kiusumong Tikhir, administrative officers, engineer and the executing contractor.

Implemented under the Special Assistance to States for Capital Investment (SASCI) scheme, the project is a G+3 office complex that commenced in 2024.
While expressing satisfaction with the progress of work, Er Amer directed the contractor to ensure that the project be completed within the stipulated work order period while maintaining the prescribed standards of quality.
During the inspections, Er Amer inspected every major component of the ongoing works and emphasized that quality, durability and timely execution must remain the department’s top priorities, and said that the office complexes would serve the people and the administration for decades to come.
Meanwhile, Er Amer expressed gratitude to the Chief Minister, Neiphiu Rio for consistently prioritising the development of administrative infrastructure by providing adequate funding for the construction of Deputy Commissioners’ office complexes and various other administrative buildings across the state.
He said the government’s support had enabled CAWD to execute key infrastructure projects, including the DC office complexes at Tuensang, Noklak, Shamator, Wokha, Tseminyu, Meluri and Zunheboto, besides several other functional and non-functional administrative buildings.
Describing the visit as his final official field inspection before retiring later this month, Er Amer thanked the Commissioner, Deputy Commissioners, administrative officers, engineers and all stakeholders for their cooperation and support during his tenure.
He said the department’s achievements were the result of collective dedication and teamwork, and expressed confidence that CAWD would continue to strengthen administrative infrastructures across the state.
