KOHIMA, DECEMBER 3 (MExN): The Phesama Youth Organisation, along with the Phesama Village, has announced steps to address the traffic congestion and transportation issues faced by both domestic and international visitors during the Hornbill Festival at Kisama.
In an effort to alleviate these concerns, the Phesama Youth Organisation in a press release informed that it will provide parking facilities at Phesama Local Ground, situated just 1 kilometer before Kisama, along National Highway 29. This new parking area is operational from December 3 to ensure that visitors can easily access the festival without the hindrance of traffic congestion.
