Senapati, April 13, 2026: The Naga People’s Organisation (NPO), Senapati, has urged authorities to allow only local contractors to undertake the ongoing road development work along the Mao–Senapati stretch of National Highway-02 in Manipur.
In a press release issued on Tuesday, the apex civil society body highlighted the engagement of the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) in strengthening and upgrading the stretch from Mao Gate to Taphou Kuki, covering a total length of 51.985 km under EPC mode.
The NPO stated that its demand is based on past experiences where outside contractors allegedly compromised on quality while focusing on speedy completion of projects. It also pointed out that the local public often faces difficulties in raising complaints when executing agencies are from outside the state.
Further, the organisation made it clear that any bidding at below-minus rates for the project would not be accepted. It warned that any violation of fair bidding practices would be viewed seriously and rejected in the larger interest of the public.
