The Chungtia Students’ Union (CSU) has informed that the quality and strength test results for the ongoing construction of the 50-bedded Integrated AYUSH Hospital at Sabangya, Mokokchung, have been delayed due to the bandh in Assam following the demise of singer Zubeen Garg.
Speaking to MT, CSU convenor Zaongtoshi said that the Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO) has communicated that some of the test results, expected from Assam, were held up because of the bandh. The results are now anticipated to be available later this week.

Earlier, on September 11, two members from North East Engineers conducted quality and strength tests at the hospital site following an ultimatum issued by the CSU and the Chungtia Village Council (CVC) over alleged substandard construction work. The joint inspection team included representatives from CSU and CVC, Sangpangchang, EAC Ongpangkong South; Dr. Takosunep, Deputy CMO Mokokchung; Longkai, SDO (Engineering Wing), Department of Health and Family Welfare; and Santanu Dey, site engineer representing KC Infra.
A total of three tests—Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity, Rebound Hammer, and Core Cut Sampling—were carried out at the site. The CSU has stressed that the results are critical for determining the integrity of the ongoing construction.
