TOWN PLANNING: WILL IT BE POSSIBLE?

Urban planning is a technical and political process concerned with the use of land, protection and use of the environment, public welfare, and the design of the urban environment, including air, water, and the infrastructure passing into and out of urban areas such as transportation, communications, and distribution. Keeping aside all this unavoidable processes, I would like to simply contribute what I have been thinking for the initial town of Lamka (Churachandpur) planning.

Lamka town of Churachandpur district is a fast developing district headquarter of Manipur. In spite of the high standard of living in the town, its planning needs to be improved and a poor infrastructure maintenance maligned the image. The town is now deadly congested, the main road needs to be expanded in order to accommodate vehicle traffic and human movement. Since the expansion of the roads are still a hanging dream, it would be wise if the administration could take up alteration of the passenger vehicle's parking coming from different directions.

1. Imphal - CCpur bus and winger parking at Tuibuang.
2. Behiang, Singngat - Lamka passengar vehicles at Thingkangphai or ??
3. Guite line passenger vehicles at Bungmual or Pearsonmun
4. Sugnu-Lamka line passenger vehicles at Rengkai

OUR STUPIDITY IS OUR PROBLEM!

My perception might not be the best, it might not the be worst either. As the saying goes, a drop of water makes an ocean. I would like to share few of my viewpoints on our general problem as a society with special reference to Churachandpur district. Let me make it as  detail and precise as possible.

1. Churachandpur district exist with an administrative set-up and a law keeping security forces to look after the law and order in particular. We are suppose to take their help in maintaining law and order in our district. But, we are using them as the observer of our stupidity at our present situation.

2. Everything has been communalized, if any incident happens - it is communalized. If any street fighting happens - it is communalized. Warning one another, no one is scare of nobody because even the most lunatic person knows it will be communalized. 

Therefore,

Let us learn to respect one another, let us learn to solve any cases as per it is necessary to be handle. Let us learn how to use the existing law and order through the law enforcers. Let us stop warning one another. If any street fighting happens, lets us report to the police and let the police handle the case.

On the other hand, let the law and order keeping force equip themselves to handle any case in a democratic way but not a barbaric method.
