The working women hostel which is located in the Northern Angami colony, which was inaugurated by the state Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio on 12th November 2022, for working women.
But even after its inauguration, it was seen that the hostel was not functioning and it was still un-used. Nagaland News Network had also done a follow up story in the month of January 2024, but it was seen that it is still non- functional. The building comes under the scheme of Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation and the projected costed 9.86 crores outlet, where even our state Govt was to pour in 10% of the project cost. But it was discovered that it was functioning as the girls hostel on the rent basis for the Northeast Christian University. Despite many opposition from the people, the building was constructed for the working women however it was still unused and was seen using it for other purposes.
Even the former Chairman, Northern Angami colony Kevise Sogotsu also expressed his thoughts and talked about how the building was constructed against the will of the people and how despite its construction, its still not functional and how its functioning for some other purpose instead of the main purpose which the building was constructed for.
