The United Sangtam Students’ Conference (USSC) has extended solidarity to the Chakhesang Students’ Union (CSU) in its demand for the timely repair and maintenance work of the Kohima–Jessami Road (Package 2).

In a letter addressed to the  Executive Director,         NHIDCL Regional Office, Nagaland, the USSC mentioned that the Kohima–Jessami Road is not merely an infrastructure project but is a “socio-economic corridor that connects communities, facilitates access to education and healthcare, and plays a pivotal role in regional development”.

“While the road is fundamental to the Chakhesang region, it also serves as a vital lifeline to the entire Kiphire District, enabling movement, trade, and access to essential services. Any delay or neglect in its timely and quality execution has far-reaching impacts, particularly for remote and underprivileged areas like Kiphire District,” maintained the Union while also commending the leadership of the CSU for actively highlighting the deteriorating condition of the critical roadway.

“We further encourage active communication and coordination with local stakeholders, especially the CSU, to ensure transparency and effective implementation.  The United Sangtam Students’ Conference stands in unwavering support of the Chakhesang Students’ Union in this endeavor. We sincerely hope that the NHIDCL will demonstrate its commitment to the people by prioritizing this crucial project for the greater good of the region,” urged the USSC.
