Kohima: Nagaland MP S Supongmeren Jamir visited the Phek Deputy Commissioner office on November 9 to hold a District Development Coordination and Monitoring Committee meeting. He demanded total dedication from district officers while reviewing central schemes for electricity, horticulture, and transport.
Er Chubatemsu Ao presented the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme, a power project launched by the Ministry of Power in July 2021. The assigned contractor promised to finish the work by March 2027. Jamir directed the DC and the Executive Engineer to track the progress constantly. He ordered quality work and pushed for better public education regarding the installation of new smart meters.
District Horticulture Officer Kelhouzake Chielie noted that Phek holds significant potential for crops due to its fertile soil and varied elevation. He detailed progress on the Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture, the Per Drop More Crop micro-irrigation program, and the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana. Jamir praised the department but insisted on quick action for a planned processing unit. He said, "I will also take up the matter with the ministry for timely allocation of fund for the purpose."
Transport officials covered the Prime Minister Road Accident Victims Hospitalisation and Assured Treatment Scheme. Launched on February 13, 2026, the program provides cashless care during the golden hour after a crash. The District Transport Officer has already launched a poster campaign to spread the word. Jamir pushed for deeper awareness at the grass root level. The committee also demanded faster work on 4G towers slated for Lower Khomi, Upper Khomi, Khuza, and Ruzazho. Deputy Commissioner Rhosietho Nguori chaired the session.
