1. The NPP of the Chizami Assembly Constituency has raised concerns over the deteriorating Pfutsero-Zhavame road.
2. This vital road links Nagaland and Manipur, serving as a lifeline for nearby villages.
3. The NPP has urged the government to take immediate action to address this pressing issue.
Kohima, Aug 21: The National People’s Party (NPP) of the 17th Chizami Assembly Constituency has voiced serious concerns over the deteriorating Pfutsero-Zhavame road, urging immediate government intervention.
This crucial roadway, which connects Nagaland and Manipur, is a lifeline for the villages of Tsüpfüme, Razeba, Zelome, and Zhavame.
However, the road has been in disrepair for years, with no visible government action, leaving local communities frustrated.
In 2021, after continued neglect by authorities, youths from Razeba in Phek district initiated a crowdfunding effort under the banner “My Road, My Future” to repair a critical 10-kilometer stretch.
Despite their efforts, the road remains in a dire state, causing immense difficulties for the 8,000 residents who depend on it.

The poor condition has severely impacted the local agricultural sector, particularly in areas like Razeba, where farmers struggle to transport their produce to markets.
Although Zhavame is designated as a ‘Vegetable Village’ and Tsüpfüme as a ‘Ground Apple Village,’ the road’s poor condition continues to cause significant financial losses.
The community asserts that the government must be held accountable for these losses, as the road’s condition directly affects their livelihood.
The people of Razeba are demanding their right to a safe and accessible road that is reliable year-round.
The NPP has called on the state government to address this long-standing issue urgently before public patience wears thin.
