Dimapur, Nagaland, India: I had never seen such bad roads in India as in Dimapur. People told me that the situation is same all over Nagaland, though the roads were not so bad in the state capital Kohima. In Dimapur, often the vehicles search for paths without pot-holes so they go zig-zag, sometimes going up on the footpaths. During the rains when the pot-holes are full of water, the roads are even more dangerous.

दीमापुर, नागालैंड, भारतः दीमापुर जैसी खराब सड़कें मैंने भारत में पहले नहीं देखी थीं. लोग कहते हैं कि पूरे नागालैंड में यही हाल है हालाँकि राजधानी कोहिमा में सड़कें इतनी बुरी नहीं थीं. दीमापुर में अक्सर वाहन सड़क पर इधर उधर बिना खड्डों वाले हिस्से खोजते हैं, कभी कभी फुटपाथ पर भी आ जाते हैं. बरसात में खड्डों में पानी भर जाता है तो खतरा और भी बढ़ जाता है!

Dimapur, Nagaland, India: Non avevo mai riscontrato strade così malmesse in India come a Dimapur. Le persone mi hanno detto che tutto il Nagaland è così, anche se le strade della capitale statale Kohima non erano ridotte così male. A Dimapur, spesso i veicoli vanno qua e là in cerca di passaggi senza buchi e talvolta arrivano anche sui marciapiedi. Durante le piogge quando i buchi sono pieni d'acqua, la situazione diventa ancora più pericolosa.

Railway market - Mercato ferroviario - रेलवे बाज़ार

Nagaland, India: Trains from Guwahati pass from Dimapur on their way to Jorhat and Dibrugarh. The last station on this line is Tinsukhia. The road connecting the state capital Kohima to Dimapur passes above the railway lines near the station. There are not many trains passing this way. So underneath the bridge, on the railway lines, daily there is a bustling market of vegetables, where they also sell frogs, snails and caterpillars. When a train arrives, it blows horn and the shopkeepers stand up with their wares. After the train passes, the shopkeepers reopen their shops.

नागालैंड, भारतः दीमापुर से हो कर गुवाहाटी की रेलगाड़ियाँ जोरहाट और डिब्रूगढ़ की ओर जाती है. इस लाइन का अंतिम स्टेश्न है तिनसुखिया. नागालैंड की राजधानी कोहिमा को दीमापुर से जोड़ने वाली सड़क रेलवे स्टेश्न के पास उपर पुल से गुजरती है. थोड़ी सी गाड़ियाँ चलती हैं इस लाइन पर. इसलिए पुल के नीचे रेलवे की पटरियों पर हर रोज़ सब्जी भाजी का बाज़ार लगता है, जहाँ मेंढ़क, घेंघुए, कानखजूरे आदि भी बिकते हैं. जब कोई रेलगाड़ी आती है तो होर्न बजाती है, और रेलवे लाइन पर बैठे दुकानदार आपना सामान ले कर खड़े हो जाते हैं, जब रेलगाड़ी चली जाती है तो वापस अपनी जगह पर बैठ जाते हैं.

Nagaland, India: I treni da Guwahati passano da Dimapur per andare a Jorhat e Dibrugarh. Ultima stazione su questa linea è Tinsukhia. La strada che collega la capitale statale Kohima a Dimapur passa sopra le linee ferroviarie vicino alla stazione. Non passano molti treni su questa linea. Per cui sotto il ponte sui binari, ogni giorno si tiene un brulicante mercato delle verdure dove si vendono anche rane, lumache e brucchi. Quando deve passare un treno, il capotreno suona il suo clacsson e i negozianti si alzano con le loro merci. Poi quando il treno è passato, i negozianti tornano ai loro posti.

Dimapur, Nagaland, India: One afternoon, I was free and thought of going to the zoo. Going in an auto on a road full of pot-holes, all the bones in my back were vigorously shaken. And it was a hot and muggy afternoon. No animals were out, all were hiding somewhere. But I saw a bear family sleeping under the shade of a tree. The first ones to wake were the children bears, and they yawned so much!

दीमापुर, नागालैंड, भारतः एक दोपहर को खाली था तो चिड़ियाघर जाने की सोची. खड्डों वाली सड़क पर आटो की सवारी से कमर की सारी हड्डियाँ हिल गयीं. साथ में भयंकर गर्मी व उमस. उसमें जानवर तो क्या दिखने थे, बेचारे कहीं छुपे बैठे थे. पर एक भालू परिवार दिखा जो एक वृक्ष की छाया में सोया था. पहले बच्चे भालू जगे और उन्होंने खूब उबासियाँ लीं!

Dimapur, Nagaland, India: Un pomeriggio ero libero e ho pensato di visitare lo zoo. Viaggiare su un autorisciò per una strada piena di buchi, sentivo la mia schiena tutta frullata. Poi vi era un'affa incredibile. Nessun animale era fuori, erano tutti nascosti da qualche parte. Ma si vedeva una famiglia di orsi neri che dormiva sotto l'ombra di un albero. I primi a svegliarsi erano i ragazzi orsi e si sono messi a sbadigliare a non finire!

Nagaland, India: Dimapur is the largest city of Nagaland, and also its commercial hub. In the main city, between the shops, narrow streets, roads full of pot-holes and traffic noise, along with the Naga people, there are many immigrants from Assam, Bihar, Bengal, etc. who are more than 50% of the population. To see the city as it was 20 years ago, you need to go out of the main town. Today's images have ponds from United North Block part of Burma camp, where many poor immigrants live.

नागालैंड, भारतः दीमापुर नागालैंड का सबसे बड़ा शहर है, और वहाँ का व्यवसायिक केन्द्र भी. मुख्य शहर में दुकानों, तंग गलियों, खड्डों से भरी सड़कों और यातायात की चिल्ल पौंपौं के बीच में नागा लोगों के साथ असमी, बिहारी, बँगाली आदि प्रवासी भी हैं जिनकी संख्या वहाँ 50 प्रतिशत से कुछ अधिक ही हैं. पुराना दीमापुर कैसा था यह देखने के लिए आप को शहर से थोड़ा बाहर निकलना पड़ेगा. आज की तस्वीरों में बर्मा कैम्प के युनाइटिड नोर्थ ब्लाक से तालाबों को कुछ तस्वीरें. यहाँ बहुत से गरीब प्रवासी रहते हैं.

Nagaland, India: Dimapur è la città più grande di Nagaland, e anche il suo centro commerciale. Nella città principale, in mezzo ai negozi, alle strette viuzze, alle strade piene di buchi e al rumore del traffico, insieme alle persone Naga, vi sono molti immigrati da Assam, Bihar, Bengala, ecc., i quali sono più del 50% della sua popolazione. Per vedere la città come era 20 anni fa, dovete andare alla periferia. Le immagini di oggi sono degli stagni nella zona di United North Block di Burma camp. Qui tra gli abitanti, molti sono gli immigrati poveri.
