UKHRUL | Nov 19

Tangkhul Mayar Ngala Long (TMNL-Tangkhul Youth Council) in continuation of their sensitisation initiative on road safety, under the theme, ‘Safe Traffic, Safe Ukhrul’, has released a video on road safety, at a function held today at Gandhi Avenue, Ukhrul.

The said video on road safety highlights the do’s and don’ts for safe traffic regulations in Ukhrul Town.

In the said video release function, executive member ADC-Ukhrul, (Transport, Small Town Development and Science & Technology), Kapangpam Zimik, lauded the initiatives taken up by TMNL on road safety awareness. He added that due to the heavy-vehicle movement and bad road condition in Ukhrul there is a high possibility of traffic snarls and accident related problems.

He further mentioned that street vendors and hawkers occupying the footpath at various intersections in the town are also one major concern for the smooth regulation of traffic. However, he assured that in order to ensure road safety and traffic regulation, taxi stand/point would be allotted on both sides of the road at various intersections in the town. Further, in a few days, guidelines will be issued, and strict action will be initiated to implement the orders. If necessary, sufficient volunteers or force would be deployed to regulate traffic movement, he added.

Lastly, he implored the public to extend maximum cooperation to ADC-Ukhrul in exercising road safety measures in Ukhrul Town.
