The Kohima Municipal Council wants to make the town free of pigs and stray dogs with a massive cleanliness and beautification drive. Both the animals have been creating major health hazards to the people. Under the sanitation and beautification programme, the civic body would also declare Kohima a “dustbin-free” town. The council has instituted prizes to encourage civic sense amongst the colonies and wards. Random use of plastic is also prohibited. The other initiatives are cleanliness competition among colonies, awareness campaign on sanitation, tree plantation drive, construction of playgrounds and building of ropeway to ease traffic congestion.
