Are you a resident of Mizoram capital Aizawl? If yes, do not buy a car until you have a garage or parking space. Grappled with constant traffic snarls, Mizoram has finally found a way out, banning the sale of vehicles to any individual who does not own a garage or parking space. A car purchased after August 30 will be viewed illegal if its owner does not possess a garage or parking space.
The Mizoram Government has issued an order banning the sale of vehicles to anyone who doesn’t own parking space. The diktat, which also holds for Government departments, was issued last week by the state’s Transport Department after an assent to the Mizoram Motor Vehicle (Amendment) Rules of 2010.

And here we are waiting for traffic studies to prove there will be enough people to use commuter rail 30 years from now. The rate at which we are going it will be overflowing in 5 years. Somebody in govt should have common sense and intution. I bet we will find that person in my lifetime.
