Dimapur, Dec. 30: The lawless roads of Dimapur continue to run free, wild and unregulated, and run equally by mostly reckless motorists and drivers. One person had a miraculous escape on Sunday Dec. 30 in Dimapur when he survived a road accident after the two-wheeler, a scooter, he was riding was rammed into by a speeding vehicle, a Maruti Gypsy.
The incident took place at Tajen Ao Road at Duncan Basti in Dimapur at around 6:00 pm. The identity of the Gypsy’s owner could not be ascertained at the time this report was being written. The two major roads that pass through Duncan Basti are some of the city’s fastest urban roadways.
