DIMAPUR TO CONDUCT MASS SOCIAL WORK ON 13th NOVEMBER

The District Administration, Dimapur, convened a coordination meeting on 9th November 2026 at the Deputy Commissioner's Office, Dimapur to discuss preparations for a mass social work scheduled to be held on 13th November 2026 (Friday), from 6:00 A.M onwards, in view of the upcoming festive season and the Hornbill Festival.

The meeting was attended by representatives of various government departments, urban local bodies and civil society organisations, outlined the locations identified for the mass social work and allocated specific stretches to the concerned departments.

Addressing the meeting, Deputy Commissioner (DC), Dimapur, Dr. Tinojongshi Chang, NCS, urged departments that could not attend the meeting to ensure their participation by disseminating the information through official channels.

The mass social work will primarily focus on cleaning roads and public areas, with particular emphasis on the proper collection and disposal of waste. The DC directed the concerned departments to take responsibility for cleaning their respective assigned areas and ensuring the proper disposal of collected waste. He clarified that waste clearance would be the responsibility of the respective departments, and should not be left solely to the District Administration.

He also called upon all councillors to take responsibility for their respective wards and lead the cleanliness drive in their areas. The DC further informed that certain areas and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) not included in the initial allocation would be incorporated following further discussions and coordination.

Appealing to all stakeholders to extend their cooperation and actively participate in the initiative, he stressed the importance of making Dimapur clean and presentable ahead of the festive season and the Hornbill Festival.

Further, the DC informed business establishments under Dimapur and East Dimapur to remain closed from 6:00 A.M to 12:00 noon on November 13 to facilitate the mass social work.
