Mokokchung, March 2 (MTNews): Obeying traffic rules and demonstrating traffic discipline and etiquettes is one lesson Mokokchung can learn from the Mizos. While it is common to see commuters losing their calm when stuck in traffic jams, which has become a regular phenomenon in Mokokchung these days, a photo reportedly from Mizoram showing people waiting patiently has impressed millions online.
In an undated picture being circulated on the internet, scores of cars and two-wheelers are seen stuck in a traffic jam. However, not a single driver can be seen trying to cross onto the other side of the road that is absolutely empty.
Sandeep Ahlawat, a Twitter user who first posted the photo, expressed his admiration to the people for waiting patiently and following traffic rules. “I have seen this kind of discipline only in Mizoram. There are no fancy cars, no big egos, no road rage, no honking…. no one is in a tearing hurry,” Ahalawat tweeted. “There is calm and serenity all around,” he added. His photo has had 4 million impressions on Twitter and counting, with 9K retweets.
