The initiative being taken by the Regional Transport Authority (RTA) Kohima and District Administration Kohima on streamlining of vehicular Traffic and Transport services which was widely published in the media (22nd September 2022) is laudable and can indeed be termed as a big leap forward. From among the many positive outcomes such as easing of traffic, the benefits that would accrue would be as follows;
1. Putting to productive use, the ISBT Kohima which was once seen as an epitome of wasteful and infructuous expenditure out of States Exchequer.
2. Help the public transporters (Passenger and Goods) earn more as a consequence of higher frequency of trips per day.
3. Speed up movement of goods and services which invariably is an indicator towards achieving economic growth.
4. Overall growth of general populace of Kohima through saving of time and money, increased developmental activities, better health through reduced vehicular pollution and reduction of stress related health issues caused by vehicular traffic jam.
5. Help in decongestion of Kohima Town and bring about balance in development by spreading out to areas which were once considered as outskirt or remote.
While committing to extend our fullest cooperation, we eagerly look forward to the D-day (1st of October 2022) where the work of noble initiative will be on display. It is also our sincere wish that ANTA, Kohima shall endeavour to shoulder the responsibilities reposed upon them by the Government with dedication and provide the best of services to the public.
