Massive traffic jams occurred throughout the day on May 17 following mudslides at the Peducha-Zubza stretch of NH29 towards Kohima Town. The mudlsides not only affected vehicular movement but also stalled earth cutting works for the ongoing Dimapur-Kohima 4-lane project. The road jams at the stretch continued till late into the evening. Travellers further lamented that absence of traffic personnel at the site aggravated the situation. Meanwhile, youth volunteers assisted in the traffic management. (Citizen Journalist Photo)
