Imphal, April 16 2017:
A traffic awareness programme was held today at Khwairamband Ima Keithel under the aegis of Imphal West Traffic Control Office and the Manipur State Legal Services Authority.
Speaking at the gathering, Imphal West SP N Herojit observed that the ever increasing number of vehicles and the unchanged breadth of major unchanged breadth of major roads have been creating traffic congestion in different parts of Imphal city.
The problem is further aggravated by the fact that Imphal city is not a planned city.
There is a growing need to open a separate unit of Traffic Police to look after traffic congestion under the supervision of an SP and an Additional SP, Herojit said.
Violation of traffic rules is another major factor which has been contributing to traffic congestion.
The SP also appealed to all the people to abide by traffic rules, and avoid mobile phones and intoxicating substances while driving.
