Dear Madam, Just a day before, people and various organizations celebrated World Environment Day and took pledge to protect the environment. However, in reality people tend to forget their pledge and go on cutting trees randomly and pollute the environment with machineries and vehicles emissions. Although tree plantation is taken as mass drive on World Environment Day, how many people and NGOs take care of the saplings planted on that day. If those saplings were taken care of, there would have been millions of trees by now in the state....

Dear Madam, When whole of the precious money time and energy get invested upon "Grand" temples, "Gigantic" statues, "sky-kissing" flags, glittering extravagant mansions, spectacle of mass yoga , Hindi imposition and luxurious amenities for the rich; it is most natural that basic necessities of common citizens, improvement and maintenance of social/national infrastructure (through proper utilisation of human resources by mass recruitment) and security protocols would go for a toss! In this disgusting perspective, there lies hardly any surprise when hundreds of lives get abruptly lost in train accidents! By extricating...

Dear Madam, The Nagaland Power Department’s excuse for load-shedding in the state does not give full explanation of the power-cuts which people face throughout the year. It is understood that power consumption during the Summer months is more, but load-shedding and frequent power cuts are experienced throughout the year. Various reasons are given for load-shedding on different occasions, but ultimately the public suffers even after paying the power bills. Temsu, Dimapur...

Dear Madam, With soaring temperatures in recent years, it's becoming evident that Dimapur's green cover is not sufficient to mitigate the heat. Trees not only provide shade and cool the air, but also help reduce air pollution and contribute to the conservation of local biodiversity. Our historical bond with nature, which is an integral part of our Naga culture, is under threat. A more aggressive tree-planting initiative is needed. Moreover, we must enforce regulations preventing unnecessary felling of trees. Amento, Dimapur...

Dear Madam, Some trains from Dimapur Railway Station was cancelled during the Covid pandemic, especially Brahmaputra Mail, which is yet to be restored. While the time of Nagaland Express has been changed, causing much inconveniences to the railway commuters, the present timing BG Express is also not proper as it takes almost 7 hours to reach Guwahati from Dimapur. The NF Railways must look into this and restore the trains to their original timings in the larger interest of railway passengers. Santosh, Dimapur...

Dear Madam, Dimapur roads needs to be repaired at the earliest. Most of the roads are dilapidated with numerous potholes and has proved to be a risky affair, especially for two-wheelers. Whether it is GS Road, which has been neglected for over a decade or the Kalibari Road, Golaghat Road from below the Flyover to Over Bridge, they need urgent repair. One cannot see people losing their lives due to such roads. The Government of the day must take it up on priority. Naresh, Dimapur...

Dear Madam, The issue of dangling wires along the sides of the Dimapur flyover are a cause for concern for pedestrians who use the walkways along the flyover. As someone who frequently walks along the flyover, I have noticed that the wires hang low and are within reach of anyone walking by. The sight of the wires dangling haphazardly is an eyesore and takes away from the overall aesthetic of the area. I urge the concerned authorities to take immediate action to address this issue. Perhaps the wires can be...

Dear Madam, The country got a new Parliament building, which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, amidst boycott by several political parties. It was a historic event and I think everyone should have joined the celebration. After all, the political parties are going to send their MPs in the same Parliament, isn’t it? Santosh...

Dear Madam, Two-wheeler taxis in Dimapur has been quite helpful to the citizens for travelling from one place to other, especially when Autorickshaws have been barred entry into the town. Such taxis should be placed at various junction so that people can avail the service easily. At present, it is present in very few location only. Shekhar, Dimapur...

Dear Madam, Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become important in many works, but people are yet to understand its dangers. AI has been used in generating photos and have confused people as it look 100% genuine, while in reality it was a fake. Whether it was the photos of Donald Trump or the blast outside Pentagon, it was all AI work, which was later debunked. Mathew, Dimapur...
