Advisor for Civil Administration Works Division (CAWD), Kudecho Khamo, on Friday inaugurated the new Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) Office Complex at Tamlu under Longleng district in the presence of MLA of 49th Tamlu Assembly Constituency, B Bangtick Phom.
Addressing the inaugural programme, Khamo called for greater self-reliance through effective utilisation of Nagaland’s natural resources, human potential and skills. He urged government officials to discharge their duties sincerely and ensure that welfare schemes and government initiatives reach even the remotest areas.
Acknowledging the cooperation of the people of Tamlu, particularly Tamlu and Kangching villages for providing land for the project, he said development required mutual cooperation between the government and the public. He also urged landowners across the state to support developmental initiatives and cautioned against reclaiming land voluntarily donated for public purposes.
On the Frontier Nagaland Territorial Authority (FNTA), Khamo said the arrangement would empower the region to make decisions concerning its own development. He appealed to people in the Eastern Nagaland People’s Organisation (ENPO) area to remain united and resolve differences through dialogue, mutual respect and understanding.
