Kohima: Leaders from the Humtso Village Youth Organization and Humtso Village Council want the Humtso-Elumyo road project finished. They met with Dr. John Murry, the manager for M/s Chabou & Co, to force the issue. The project hit a wall. Despite launching under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana in March 2024, the eighteen-month timeline is slipping.
Construction crews finished the earth cutting, side drains, and protection walls. They also put in Hume pipe culverts. But the heavy lifting remains. Workers still need to finish full-depth reclamation, plain cement concrete, and the bituminous work. Tsenpo Murry, the site supervisor, attended the meeting alongside local leaders to address the stalled progress.
Dr. John blamed the early, drawn-out monsoon for the lag. He also cited equipment shortages and various technical snags. The firm now promises to get back to work immediately. "Dr John cited several challenges affecting the project's progress," the joint release noted. He committed to finishing and opening the road before the rains return next year.
Village groups expect the remaining tasks to start by February 2027. They pledged their support to get it done. The community wants better access, and they want it fast.
