Nongpoh, December 19: The Nongpoh Region Auto Owners and Drivers Association (NRAODA), an organization of autorickshaw owners and drivers in Nongpoh, on Thursday inaugurated its new office located at the compound of the District Transport Office (DTO) in Ri Bhoi District. This initiative aims to streamline and facilitate the association’s operations for the benefit of autorickshaw owners and drivers in the region.

The new office was inaugurated by Mayralborn Syiem, MLA of Nongpoh constituency, in the presence of John Nongrang, Motor Vehicle Inspector (MVI) of the DTO Nongpoh office, Plielad Tiewsoh, Adviser to NRAODA, NRAODA leaders, and autorickshaw owners and drivers from various units.

He further stated that the new office would facilitate efficient management, enabling the leaders to work diligently and explore avenues to improve the lives of autorickshaw owners and drivers. It would also help address their domestic needs and promote their overall progress.
