NEHU gate no. 1 reopens after three years

Описание: After remaining closed for nearly three years, Gate No. 1 of North-Eastern Hill University (NEHU) was finally reopened on Monday without formal official inauguration, a move expected to ease vehicular movement into the university campus.

The reopening followed a gathering of members from the North-Eastern Hill University Teachers' Association (NEHUTA), North-Eastern Hill University Students' Union (NEHUSU), and the Khasi Students' Union (KSU) NEHU Unit outside the gate on Monday afternoon, where they decided to reopen the gate on their own due to prolonged delays by the university authorities.

The inauguration was marked by the presence of NEHU Chief Engineer Lening Bareh, who formally cut the ribbon for the newly constructed gate.
Bareh was reportedly unaware of the plan to reopen Gate No. 1 until the last minute, when student representatives invited him to visit the site, after which he went to the spot and formally participated in the inauguration.

Speaking on the project details, Bareh informed that the tender value for the construction stood at Rs. 66,06,460, while the final bill value amounted to Rs. 66,06,353. Earlier reports had suggested that the project, implemented by contractor late Fullstar Rani had crossed Rs. 1 crore, which had drawn public attention and debate.

Meanwhile, NEHUSU president Menlamlynti Markhap and KSU NEHU Unit president Robin Nongrem stated that the decision to reopen the gate was taken after repeated representations to the university authorities since last year failed to yield any response.
