initially implemented in October last year to facilitate the Road Over Bridge (ROB)
rehabilitation work, was retained after the ROB reopened in February due to
ongoing traffic assessments and public safety concerns.

commuters, the police underscored the significant improvements achieved since
the one-way system's implementation.

the Dimapur Police stressed the broader benefits to public safety and overall
city mobility.
