A day after a local cabby was assaulted by miscreants at Khyndailad, the East Khasi Hills Local Taxi Welfare Association, on May 19, warned of action if the police fail to arrest the culprits at the earliest.
A large number of taxi drivers gathered at Khyndailad since morning, on May 19, to protest against the assault on a fellow taxi driver and demand for stricter action against the culprits.

President of the association, Wandonbok Jyrwa said that they rushed to Sadar police station to inquire about the matter, where they were told that investigation is ongoing.
Jyrwa also said that if police delay in arresting the culprits, they will be forced to resort to other ways to ensure justice for their fellow taxi driver.
To a question on whether the association will temporarily stop their operations, he said, “It depends on the taxi drivers, individually. We are not forcing anyone to stop plying but we leave it to their own judgement.”
