Kohima, Dec. 1 (EMN): The Night Carnival is one of the regular features of the Hornbill Festival. It is an event where people throng various stalls that host everything from music to retail products to food.
This time around, some organisations introduced more other carnivals at various locations in Kohima town. In addition to the regular night bazaar in the main town and High School junction, one will experience more happenings at the BOC Junction, right below the police headquarters and the WW II ‘tank park.’
At the BOC Junction, the night carnival was organised by the Tsutuonuomia Youth Organisation (TYO), while the Tsutuonuomia Khel Students’ Union under the aegis of the TYO put up an open space hotel at the WW II park.
The president of the TYO, Ruokuoneituo Phewhuo told Eastern Mirror that the main idea was to ‘influence youths with all good intentions.’ Taking into consideration the “dirty” environment nearby the lake located in the middle of the BOC Junction, he said that the organisers wanted to create an image of cleanliness for the lake and its surroundings. At the junction, around 20 stalls will be set up each hosting different items of interest to visitors, he said.
In the main town, the Kohima Chamber of Commerce Industry (KCCI) is organising the night carnival. Like any other years, the main town’s road was closed to vehicles and has been made an open passage for people and revellers.
Visitors can browse through a variety of consumer products and items on sale including food, decorative items; tattoo shops, photography, automobile ticket booking counters; free testing for HIV; and many more. One can find a similar variety of novelties and consumables at the High School Junction as well.
