JOWAI:
One of the biggest causes of traffic congestion in Jowai town is careless driving and disregard for the law.
Another factor contributing to traffic jams in Jowai, notably in the Iawmusiang, Newhill, and Iawthymme areas, is the increase in the number of vehicles, including local taxis and private cars.
When there is heavy traffic, drivers overtake aggressively, causing traffic jams to last for an hour to travel the short distance of around half a kilometre from Newhill Point to the DC Office.
Although the Jowai traffic Police have made every effort to control traffic for a smooth flow of vehicular movement, this issue has caused commuters difficulties due to indisciplined driving.
