MLA 10th Northern Angami - I A/C, Khriehu Liezietsu inaugurated the Bayavü Gate located at Bayavü main junction below the Directorate of Census Operation at Kohima as the special guest on 28th November 2022.

Inaugurating the Bayavü gate, Khriehu congratulated the denizens of Bayavü for the successful completion and erection of the gate. He said that it was a significant day for everyone, as a village gate or a community gate carries deep meanings with different messages. "In the olden days the gates were built at the entries and exits and also at some strategic locations to prevent rivals and enemies to enter the villages, however, today's gates were not built for prevention anymore rather it was built for welcoming and it also symbolizes unity", he added.

Regarding the designs and motives of the gate which represented different tribes, Khriehu described it as an expression of unity with a message of peace and harmony for a progressive Naga modern society. He hoped that the message would go far and wide across society and further believed that Bayavü would become one of the model colonies for the rest of the state. He thanked all the concerned people for contributing their tireless efforts towards the successful completion of the gate and for the betterment of the Bayavü people as well.
