- DIMAPUR — The
Team Better Dimapur's (TBD) effort to beautify Dimapur continues as the team
took to the streets on Monday morning with their plantation drive at Parkway,
opposite Hotel Senti, in Dimapur, and from Tragopan Junction to Khermahal
Junction.
- The team’s president, Mhonjan Humtsoe, told this newspaper
that although social work by the team is carried out every Saturday morning,
the team on Monday morning renovated the Parkway adopted by TBD in 2021, which
had been dismantled for the construction of the Road Over Bridge (ROB) near
Hotel Tragopan along National Highway 29 last year.
- He clarified that the Parkway was dismantled after
permission was granted by the concerned department to the team.

- The Parkway opposite Hotel Senti was a name given by the
team to an area that was previously a dumping site. On Monday, the team
renovated the area with flower beds and also cleared and planted new plants
along the Tragopan Hotel to the Khermahal Junction lane dividers.
- The team worked from 6 am until 11:30 am.
- Humtsoe said the plantation drive is being funded
exclusively by contributions from Team Better Dimapur. “We also aim to
highlight the need to keep the city clean and vibrant for all to enjoy. We feel
like we are giving back something to the society and playing the part of
responsible citizens in whatever ways we can,” he affirmed.
