On the need to construct more parking lots, he said, “The government should demolish the existing SDSEO office at Mawkhar and instead construct a multi-complex with parking space for vehicles to ease the traffic congestion at Motphran. The government should also construct a new parking lot at Them Metor once the residents of that area are relocated.” The MLA also suggested that the government should increase No Parking Zones, No Parking Areas and No Entry Zones. “There is a need for the government to set a time period for transporter vehicles like trucks to enter the capital city,” he said, adding that the government should take immediate action as the National Games 2020 is also slated to be held in the hill State.
