The Synjuk Ki Nongniah Taxi Sor bad Khapsor (umbrella of associations of taxi drivers from urban and suburban) has petitioned the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC) on non-tribal drivers operating without labour licence.
In the letter to Executive Member in-charge Labour Victor Ranee, the umbrella organisation of 32 local taxi associations, stated that although it appreciates the district council for not issuing the document to non-tribal drivers, but there are many who are operating without the mandatory licence.
According to them such taxi drivers are found operating in Shillong city especially, Laitumkhrah, Rynjah and Nongthymmai.
The Synjuk has urged the KHADC to conduct an inspection in the city to detect such drivers.
