The mayor welcomed the initiative and confirmed the City Administration's readiness to cooperate closely during implementation.

Furthermore, an information session was held with the residents of Pasi Muhraho village to introduce them the objectives of the Traffic Management Plan, the planned safety measures, and the respective roles of the Project team, the Contractor (TGEM), and the community. The discussion was constructive, with residents sharing practical suggestions to further improve traffic organization and road conditions.  

Several community representatives were nominated to maintain regular communication with the Project team and to participate in joint monitoring activities, including weekly "Safety Walk" visits. In addition, participants were informed about the existing Grievance Redress Mechanism, which provides a formal channel for submitting questions or concerns.

These meetings reaffirm the Project's commitment to transparent communication, community engagement, and continuous improvement of safety standards. The implementation of the Traffic Management Plan will contribute to enhanced coordination, improved road safety conditions, and the sustainable and socially responsible development of the Rogun Hydropower Project.
