Kohima: Lok Sabha MP Supongmeren Jamir chaired a DISHA meeting in Wokha on July 7 to evaluate local government projects. The meeting brought together district officials to examine service gaps and administrative hurdles. Supongmeren stressed that these meetings serve a clear purpose: they are for "shaping district development."
Agriculture officials reported progress on the National Mission on Natural Farming and oil palm initiatives across 243 hectares. Field staff face significant travel issues in Ralan Block. They want a new sub-division to handle the load. Moving to Aadhaar-based payments also adds strain to their daily work.
Labor department records show 763 active registrations under the construction welfare board. Officials noted 8 death claims and hundreds of tool grants. They are pushing awareness campaigns to improve low enrollment in insurance schemes. Meanwhile, meat production in Wokha lags behind demand. The district produces under 2,000 metric tons against a need for over 3,600. An African Swine Fever outbreak recently killed 374 animals, costing the region over one million rupees.
The group also discussed infrastructure gaps. Poor BSNL coverage threatens census work. They also need to fill vacant Gramin Dak Sevak jobs with local talent. Supongmeren pledged to escalate these problems to higher authorities. The session ended with a promise to push for better results across the district.
