KOHIMA — After eight days, the local and zonal taxi verification drive in Kohima, undertaken by the Angami Youth Organisation (AYO), concluded on Wednesday, with a total of 1,785 taxis verified.
The verification drive started on June 24 and was initially scheduled to end on June 28, but the AYO extended it until July 2.
The AYO officials told media persons on Wednesday that many cases are pending due to the absence of proper documents and cases where permits were issued after the government order on July 6, 2022. They said that such permits are being kept in abeyance.
