DIMAPUR: Dimapur District Autorickshaw Drivers’ Union (DDADU) has cautioned that auto drivers without proper documents such as driver’s license, Union ID card and uniform would be strictly dealt with. In a press release, DDADU president Tito Yeptho also directed the auto drivers to submit the found articles in their autos to the area in charge or union head office. The union warned that it would take strict action on erring drivers if the found items are not submitted to the office. DDADU also advised passengers “not to leave their articles at back side of the auto and blame the driver in future”. The union urged passengers to note down the ID number and registration number of the driver they board for future references.
DDADU appeals
DDADU has appealed to the Diphupar Youth Organisation (DYO) not to charge exorbitant fees at the Diphupar auto parking. In a letter addressed to the president of DYO, DDADU stated that the said auto parking was charging the amount of Rs. 500-Rs. 1000 as parking registration fee per year which it said could not be met by the drivers. In this regard, DDADU appealed DYO to “cancel such kind of activities” for the benefit of auto drivers especially during this time of pandemic.
