Shillong,July 17: The Khun Hynniewtrep National Awakening Movement (KHNAM) has asked the state government to come up with guidelines for operation of Rapido bike service, which have to some extent address the problems of unemployment among the educated youths of the state.
In a statement on Sunday, KHNAM state youth wing president Thomas Passah said the ban on the Rapido bike service based on Section 66, Sub-Section 1 of the MV Act 1988 has generated unemployment to the youth of the state in a large scale, that too in a time when the state is fighting the biggest problems of unemployment and economic crises.
He said the Constitution through Article 41 in part IV dealing with the Directive Principles of State Policy prescribes the state to make effective provisions for securing the “right to work” and “right to public assistance in cases of unemployment”.
