The Urban Development Department (UDD) conducted repair works on potholes in Dimapur city as part of its vision to facilitate planned development. The department, which had started the repair work in September, had already covered several areas including Half Nagarjan traffic point, Flyover stretch, and Khermahal stretch up to Hotel Tragopan Hotel.

According to an official from UDD, they stated to Nagaland Post that the department was planning to launch phase-II soon, as they had identified a few damaged culverts at Half Nagarjan traffic point. Workers were observed repairing potholes in the early hours of Monday.

They were scheduled to move on to Tajen Ao Road and the Notun Basti area up to the DC court charali junction. An engineer explained that as part of the maintenance initiative, the department had submitted an emergency maintenance plan to the state government, proposing an amount of Rs 1.5-2 million.
