Shillong: The Hynñiewtrep Tourist Taxi Association (HTTA) helped a former tourist taxi driver Evansius Shangpliang who has been paralyzed for two years by helping him open a small tea stall “Dei Sa phi” at Baniun, Upper Shillong.
Shangpliang had worked as a tourist taxi driver for 15 years until he was paralyzed and could not walk anymore.
HTTA president Kordor L Mawlong said that it is not the first time that they have helped fellow drivers. If their fellow drivers are hospitalized, they help to pay 15-20 per cent of hospital fees.
The association also extend support to orphanages.
