Law makers making mockery of new Kohima traffic regulations

Kohima | November 3
With the implementation of the new traffic regulations, citizens of the state capital are witnessing surprisingly smooth flow of traffic for the last couple of days. Indeed the Kohima Village Youth Organization (KVYO) volunteers who are working under the direction of Kohima Municipal Council deserve to be lauded from every individual for the sacrifices they are making for the general public.
And while efforts are being made to educate and enforce rules, a Scorpio with the name plate “Commissioner Secretary’, had parked the vehicle and refused to pay parking tax, Rs. 10 saying “I am a government officer, so I should not pay tax” and drove away after parking in an allotted parking area for 3 minutes at Baroda Bank area in the morning and committed the same offence at Old MLA Junction in the afternoon.
Sources said that KMC has filed an FIR against the Commissioner for non payment of tax. While there are some dutiful Ministers like Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu and MLAs who never over take or break the traffic rules (comment of the general public), yet there are many who do not show any inclination to follow the law.
SP informs on free parking space
The Deputy Superintendent of Police, Kohima, Nagaland has informed the general public of Kohima that there is a very large free parking space at Keziekie and therefore the public are requested to use the ‘free Keziekie parking’ while shopping in the main town where parking is restricted.
