KOHIMA, Sept 7 - The five-member inter-ministerial team, deputed by the Centre to conduct spot assessment of the damage caused by rains in Nagaland, concluded their visit today. The team was led by Joint Secretary of the Ministry of Home Affairs KB Singh.
Singh told reporters that the team assessed damage caused in Kohima, Dimapur, Wokha and Phek districts. The State Government has pegged the damage at around Rs 800 crore. Singh said that the team would prepare the final report after receiving the reconciled memorandum from the State.
