Dimapur, September 8 (MExN): The Kuda 'B' Youth Organisation (KBYO) on Wednesday said that various ‘elements’ have been causing public disturbance and indulging in ‘late night partying, drugs and alcohol abuse’ Kuda Dhansiri Bridge, and as such, issued a four-point resolution on the matter.
The organisation, in a press release, informed that it held a ‘special meeting’ on September 8 to deliberate on various agendas of concern, and the house imposed ‘total ban on misuse of space on the bridge.’
As per the release, the meeting resolved that no person, persons or groups would be allowed to loiter on the Kuda Bridge especially at late nights, apart from normal commuting. KBYO shall fix side barricades to prevent elements from undue occupation and misuse of space on the ends of the bridge, it said.
Anyone caught indulging in alcohol consumption, abuse of drugs, partying, creating nuisance, disturbing public peace and tranquillity with loud music, etc., on/or at both ends of the Kuda bridge shall be doing so at their own risk of facing appropriate action by the KBYO for which the youth shall not be held responsible, the release stated.
Further, anyone caught indulging in immoral activity, littering the bridge or throwing waste disposals on the river, shall be penalized with monetary fines as per quantum of offence, it added.
In this connection, the KBYO shall request the concerned authority to install flood lamps at both ends of the bridge at the earliest, it said. Additionally, the KBYO will also request the concerned department to fix wire-mesh/nets along both sides of the bridge railings to prevent the menace of throwing hazardous waste materials (including decomposed livestock, etc) into the river while at the same time, serving as safety measure for commuters/pedestrians, the release stated.
