Also giving credence to the appeal of the Chief Minister for the 4-laning project of Daboka-Dimapur and Kohima-Imphal road, the Union Minister committed that he would expedite the process for early commencement of work.
Considering the progress of Dimapur-Kohima 4-laning which is in full swing, it is important that Daboka-Dimapur and Kohima-Imphal inter-state connectivity road projects commence work at an early date to boost trade, commerce and over-all economic growth. The DPR for these Projects are also nearing completion and works will be executed at the earliest.
