SHILLONG:
Shillong city will soon have its own two-wheeler services, run and managed by the local group called — Jaiaw Ehrngiew Transport Society (JETS 24/7).
Aimed at providing employment to the youth of the state, the JETS 24/7 will more or less function in the same way as other players in the gig market like Uber or Rapido.
JETS, whose office was inaugurated at Jaiaw Upper Lansona Lane on April 24, is a centre that will not only generate employment opportunities for the youth but will also contribute to the economy of the state in the form of tax.
Youth who wish to register can visit JETS centre along with their documents that included – driving license, DTO permit and for citizens, hailing from other parts of the country but staying in Shillong, they have to produce a trading license.
Soon, this office will open its official website so that people can avail its services.
The office was inaugurated by North Shillong MLA Adelbert Nongrum in the presence of the Parish Priest at Mawkhar Parish, headmen of the five sub-localities in Mawkhar and others.
