Kohima : Concerned over the growing traffic congestion in Kohima, Nagaland chief minister Neiphiu Rio today personally inspected the abandoned Border Road Organization (BRO) road connecting Naga Hospital and the Tinpatti area, Kohima.

Rio, accompanied by legislators and state officials, personally examined works in progress along the route connecting Naga Hospital Kohima to the Census office’s junction. He also visited the newly created lane behind NST, from the Kohima local ground to the Super Market areas as well as the works in progress on the Agri-Forest road.

During the inspection of the chief minister, the Kohima Police informed that the erstwhile abandoned road from the Naga Hospital Kohima to Tin Patti via lower New Market, Dak Lane, lower Naga Bazaar and Tinpatti (below Census Office) have now been rendered serviceable and pliable for light vehicles.

Sources revealed that Neiphiu Rio had personally ‘monitored’ the link road along with his entourage this morning and declared as pliable for light vehicles. This was his second checking along the link road during the last one and half month.

The link road would ease the traffic congestion to a large extend, he said while also requesting vehicle-users to put forth any suggestion that would help in reducing the traffic pressure in Kohima.

Meanwhile, in Dimapur, the construction by the Border Roads Organization on National Highway-39 created traffic problems due to blockades yesterday. As the construction works started Tuesday morning, commuters had to face problems crossing either side as the single lane was not enough for vehicles to move freely while traffic jams were created.

After people started complaining, the Dimapur Superintendent of Police had to intervene and clear the blockades. He even instructed the BRO people to carry out their works at night or on Sundays, while also assuring to provide police protection, if the works are to be carried out at night.
