Back in Dimapur now after another trip to Zunheboto, this time to help run a workshop on Sumi Mother Tongue Literacy, which I'll be blogging about as soon as I recover from the journey.
It's really sad that the roads to Zunheboto are all so terrible (see my previous post here), especially the Kohima-Chozuba-Zunheboto Road which has been abandoned now because they started expanding it, stopped work, then the rains came and you know...
Then once you get to Zunheboto town, the roads don't get any better. The roads aren't always resurfaced every year, and even when they are, they aren't done properly.
So during the monsoon, the main road through Project Colony becomes a mini-river whenever it rains.
Then when winter comes round and it stops raining, all you get is dust.
My friends came up to Zunheboto for the first time last week, and they were impressed by the natural beauty of the area, especially the neighbouring Tizu valley. I believe the phrase 'just like paradise' was used.
But they really weren't impressed by the road conditions! I know people from Zunheboto read my blog occasionally, so come on Zunheboto, you can do so much better!

I'm guessing someone was paid to do the roads properly and they 'maximised their profit' by not doing it properly - if it's anything like Malaysia.
