The Chief Minister, T.R. Zeliang has succeeded to add Kohima in the Smart City list, despite the odds. As pointed out by H. Chishi in the Telegraph dated 22nd Sept 2016, Kohima is decorated with abandoned structures such as the NST Complex, Town Hall and Parking Complex; to name a few. The Chief Minister should not be let down by the stake-holders but could be frustrated by Natural factors, as remarked by his colleague Y. Vikheho Swu, the Minister for Roads & Bridges. Is it still a possibility for a change and shift of the Capital to nearer the Air-port, Rail-station and other amenities. The Chumukedima/Virazouma/Sukhovi/Vidima/Razaphema/Pimla; joint valley might provide a probable plan City. This is a personal view nevertheless with common interest for the future generations.
