Imphal, January 25 2016:
Preparation for the 67th Republic Day celebration in the State choked Imphal with traffic jams along National High No 2 which passes through the city.
Pressing moves to install numerous gates for various State Departments for the Republic Day caused serious inconveniences to commuters at peak hour of the day.
Huge installations which are supposed to be made at night when there is less traffic along the road created havoc.
Half the roads were seen blocked for the preparations using large number of security personnel and traffic police.
Such a move disrupts normal traffic flow and creates serious inconveniences to public, commented Raju, a commuter wghilke speaking to The Sangai Express.
Improper planning is the root cause of such problems he said and added that persons implementing the works should take care not to create anymore havoc in the State capital again in future.
