Minister of Health and Family Welfare, P Paiwang Konyak, asserted that land donors’ ties to conditions have become a hurdle for the government to develop any project within the stipulated time.
The Minister, who is on a second phase statewide tour as part of Viksit Nagaland for Viksit Bharat, stated this on Tuesday, 24th June 2025, during the visit to the Community Health Centre building at Satakha, under Zunheboto district, which was recently upgraded.
After inspecting the CHC building, the minister informed the land donors to consider donating land for the construction of hospitals as a noble act of humanity and selflessness.
While assuring of his commitment to fully develop the CHC, he sought cooperation from the land donors and the citizens, stating that once the CHC infrastructure is fully completed, it can become a model CHC.
Paiwang Konyak further assured that once the CHC is made fully functional, the strength of health workers will be strengthened.
The minister also urged the civil organisation leaders to guide the citizens to get registered with CMHIS and Ayushman Bharat, ensuring that no individual is deprived of free access to health care.
Paiwang Konyak also emphasised on cancellation of pharmacies that do not possess legal documents or are operated by unqualified personnel, stating that “cancellation will continue as per the law”.
Marking his visit, the Minister also planted a tree sapling at CHC Satakha.
The Minister also visited PHC Satakha and interacted with the patients, inspected the drug store, laboratory, etc.
Meanwhile, the Minister urged the BJP Party workers of Zunheboto district to participate and continue to support the government to achieve the Prime Minister of India’s vision of a “Viksit Nagaland for Viksit Bharat”.
The Minister also inspected the ongoing new construction work of District Hospital Zunheboto along with the local representative and advisor, Food & Civil Supplies, LMCP K. T. Sukhalu.
