The Rengma Selo Zi (RSZ) submitted a representation to the Director of Urban Development appealing for the restoration of the critical circular road within Tseminyu district headquarter.
Tseminyu was officially recognized as the 13th district of Nagaland on December 18, 2021 and formally inaugurated on February 24, 2022. However, the organisation argued that, despite its status as a district headquarter, the condition of the circular road within Tseminyu remains deplorable, causing immense inconvenience to the residents, students, and daily commuters.
“The worsening road conditions have resulted in excessive dust pollution, which poses serious health risks, from accidents caused by potholes. Students, particularly those in school uniforms, as well as office-goers and other commuters, face daily hardships due to the dusty environment. Prolonged exposure to such conditions is bound to lead to respiratory illnesses and other long-term health complications, affecting the well-being of the general public,” stated the RSZ.

Furthermore, the organisation also pointed out that if the road is not restored with proper drainage and blacktopping before the onset of the monsoon, the situation will only deteriorate.
“The absence of a well-maintained road will render vehicular movement nearly impossible during the rainy season, leading to increased hardship for the public. Essential services, including medical emergencies and transportation of goods, will also be severely hampered,” highlighted the organisation.
In this regard, it earnestly appealed the Department’s immediate intervention in facilitating the restoration of the critical circular road within Tseminyu district headquarters with the safety, comfort and well-being of the residents cannot be compromised any longer. “Prioritizing this matter before the monsoon will not only alleviate the daily struggles of the residents but also ensure a healthier and safer environment for all,” stated the organisation.
