Lawngtlai, April 30, 2026 – The inauguration of the Roadside Overnight Parking system was held this morning at 7:00 AM at Areopagy, Bazar Veng, Lawngtlai. The program was organized by the Lai Autonomous District Council (LADC) and chaired by Pu JB Vanhoy, Executive Member (Transport, etc.). The Chief Guest, Pu C. Lalsawmzuala, Chief Executive Member (CEM), LADC, officially launched the new parking initiative.

In his address, the Chief Guest clarified that the scheme is not intended as a revenue-generating measure. Instead, it aims to improve traffic management and ensure that vehicle owners park their vehicles in designated and appropriate areas. He stated that the Overnight Parking system will be implemented from the month of May in coordination with local leaders. The initiative is expected to enhance safety for women, children and the general public. He also urged citizens to cooperate fully, adding that any shortcomings would be addressed and improved over time.

Superintendent of Police, Lawngtlai, Pu PC. Lalchunglura, also spoke at the event. He emphasized that with the increasing number of vehicles in Lawngtlai and the limited strength of Traffic Police, it is essential for vehicle owners to strictly follow the new regulations. He stressed that responsibility lies with the public and highlighted the importance of cooperation among LADC, Village Councils (VC), and Young Lai Association (YLA).

During the program, the Chief Guest also distributed wheel-locks to be used for penalizing traffic violations. A solo performance was presented by Nl. Vanlalzawmpuii Hrahsel. The program concluded with a vote of thanks delivered by Pu K. Lalthanzara, Executive Secretary, LADC.
