Kohima: Kohima District Magistrate B. Henok Buchem issued strict orders to clear city streets of hazards. Construction firms must clean up now. The directive requires all builders to install perimeter hoarding, debris netting, or protective coverings like Monarflex sheeting to trap dust and prevent accidents.
Roadside clutter must go. Buchem ordered the immediate removal of construction materials, pig sties, and unhygienic toilets from around Kohima. These structures block paths and endanger public health. Utility companies, including internet and cable providers, must also strip away all abandoned overhead cables and old pipes that clutter the city skyline.
The orders build on previous mandates issued November 21, 2025. They exist to protect the environment and keep residents safe. Officials now have the power to seize unauthorized materials or vehicles without further warning. Defaulters will pay the bill for any forced removals conducted by authorities.
"The measures are intended to prevent the spread of dust and debris and minimise hazards to the public," the official order stated.
