He outlined a comprehensive mobility plan developed for the 280 sq km greater Aizawl area, which includes multiple urban transport initiatives such as ropeways, pedestrian infrastructure enhancements, truck terminals, and bus system improvements. Other present at the meeting were secretary to the governor Ajit Roy, UD&PA director Jacob Lalawmpuia, NHLML vice president Prashant Jain, and other officials from the UD&PA department.
