 SHILLONG: The Meghalaya Traffic  Police with an aim to de-congest traffic snarls in and around Laban locality conducted a spot investigation recently together with the Rangbah Shnong and its executive members and decided to turn certain areas of the locality as no parking zones and one-way.

The Deputy Superintendent of Police, Herbert G Lyngdoh informed that a lot of haphazard parking has added tremendously to the traffic jam and it is therefore decided to enforce new traffic laws in the locality by means of declaring few identified areas of the locality as no-parking zones and turning few other roads into one-way.

He further said that overnight parking of vehicles in and around the Laban locality will not be allowed and if residents of the locality have no parking provisions they will have to get the parking permission from the Laban Police Station.

The new traffic rules will come into effect from May 2nd week from Laban Police Station to Chakraborty Pharmacy at Howell Road and from ABP Road to Laban Last Stop as one way. Heavy vehicles will not be allowed to ply from 8am to 9pm in these stretches.

Hitting on two wheelers as a menace in Laban locality, Lyngdoh said that parking of two wheelers will not be allowed from Kong Batis House till Laban Presbyterian Church.

While other areas from Bang Liuon Rani’s House to Arman Lane, Grace Covenant Church to Chakraborty Pharmacy, Laban Bengalee Boys HS School to Chakraborty Pharmacy and Amjad Ali Road to Circuit House Laban Last Stop will be turned into one-way, he added.
