As a mark of protest against rotation service of Taxis in Aizawl town, Zoram Taxi Drivers Association burnt the stickers in front of Vanapa Hall today. They also put up posters in support of their demand in a number of places within the town area.
The ZTDA also have resolved that no Taxi will be in service on the next Monday.
Talking to our Corr. the ZTDA Action Committee Chairman, Lalnunzawma said, their demand is to work for 6 days in a week to earn their livelihood and they will not compromise with curtailment of their working day by the Government.
He also said that ZTDA members have been instructed not to indulge in any unlawful activity.
Meanwhile the Traffic SP, Mr. Lalbiakzama said, the Government is going ahead with the proposed rotation plying from the next Monday and those Taxis without sticker will be barred from the service.
He also said that the Police will be on high alert to see that the plan works properly.
In the meantime, of about 4000 Taxis in Aizawl city, only 1399 of them have taken the stickers which are to be used for arrangement of the plying schedule.
Our Corr. understands that the rotation plying is expected not only to ease traffic jam but also facilitate detection of Taxis plying in the city without valid document. Meanwhile the Transport Director, Mr. Siamliana said, Buses will be arranged for transportation of the stranded public if necessary and all precautionary measures have been taken in this regard.
Senior Police Officers also had a meeting today and reviewed the arrangement made for maintenance of law and order and problems which may arise during the protest activities. The meeting was chaired by DIG Northern Range, Mr. L. Hrangnawna.
