Tokheho Yepthomi rues lack of development in Nagaland

DIMAPUR: Nagaland's lone Lok Sabha MP Tokheho Yepthomi lamented that while other states in the country are surging ahead in the development sector, Nagaland is still lagging behind.

Chairing the Dimapur District Development Coordination Committee and Monitoring Committee meeting at the conference hall of the commissioner of taxes here on Wednesday, Yepthomi said: "We need to mend our ways and educate our people. There will be no development in our state otherwise."

During the meeting with various departments, the MP said he was not satisfied with the delay in works and inability to give specific details and take corrective measures. He asked them to seek the right information and demand effective follow-up on issues raised during the deliberations.
