Imphal: Manipur Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh inaugurated a Mechanized Rotary Parking facility at Nagamapal, near the Chunkhang Leirak entry in Imphal on Saturday.

While inaugurating the facility, Khemchand Singh stated that there cannot be development in the State without bringing peace and there can be no peace without dialogue among the communities and stressed the need to remain positive in our thinking towards bringing development in society.

He continued that collective efforts by the local residents and the Bazaar community are required to ensure proper functioning of the mechanized rotary parking facility.

Delivering his presidential speech, MLA of the Thangmeiband Assembly Constituency, Khumukcham JoyKisan Singh highlighted the problems faced by the people due to limited parking space in the market area and stated that the Government had come up with the idea of constructing the parking facility to address the issue.

Dr. Puneet Kumar Goel, Chief Secretary of Manipur stated that it is a very important milestone for Imphal with the inauguration of the mechanized rotary parking system. It is the first of the four proposed facilities across the city. He added, that Imphal like other capital cities is facing growing pressure of parking space due to increasing urbanisation and the rising number of vehicles, which has led to an increasing demand for an organised parking facility.
