COMMUNITY SERVICE TOWARDS TRAFFIC PERSONNEL 2022
Continuing its mission of Community Service, the Management, Staff and Students of Livingstone Foundation International took part in a civic activity of Community Service towards the Traffic Personnel in Dimapur and Chumukedima on 30th June 2022. The activity was mainly undertaken to express profound gratitude towards the Traffic Personnel who sacrifice their peace and comfort even in the sweltering heat and humidity of the summers to maintain a smooth flow of traffic and to provide a better service to the commuters of Dimapur even in the midst of stressful job conditions. The community service this year is also an endeavour of LFI to keep the thoughts and vision of Late Karan Ghebring who, as a mentor of LFI, had played an elemental role in furthering this noble service since it was launched in the year 2017.
The students and mentors were divided into two teams for both Zone-I (Dimapur City Area) and Zone-II (East Dimapur & Chumukedima Area) who distributed the gift hampers and snacks to the Traffic Personnel manning around 15 Traffic Points in Zone-I and around 5 Traffic Points in Zone-II where they had interactions with more than 100 Traffic Policemen on duty. This year the students comprised mostly of the members of the IAYP team.
During the Community Service, the students also interacted with the Officers In-Charge (OC) of Zone-I, Mr. N. Mmhao Ngullie and Mr. Peter Shuya of Zone-II. The officials were also presented with copies of the School Magazine and Mementoes as tokens of gratitude and affection from the Management, Staff and Students of LFI.
According to the Officers In-Charge (OC) of Zone-I and Zone-II, despite the hard work and dedication of the Traffic Personnel on duty, they did not get much cooperation from the general public as many of them just drive their vehicles without being least concerned about the Traffic Rules and Regulations. He expected a positive and constructive cooperation from the public for a streamlined Traffic System. He also advised the students to be more aware about the Traffic Rules and to follow them diligently. Further, the OCs called upon the NCC Cadets of the school to take part in traffic drills alongside the traffic personnel and suggested a collaborative training session with the students and mentors on different aspects of traffic rules and regulations.
