This brawl took place right in front of a BSF truck bearing registration number ML 05 W 7421 whose driver nearly hit a two wheeler bearing registration number ML 05 5069. The rider of the two-wheeler who was with his wife and child confronted the driver of the truck after which the situation spiralled into a fight between the two.

Even though both vehicles were coming from Barik point and the two-wheeler was in-front and had given a signal to enter inside civil hospital Shillong, the driver of the BSF truck took no heed of the signal and almost rear-ended the bike.

A furious biker then got down from the bike with his wife and started to climb the truck to confront the driver of the BSF truck.

The altercation soon escalated and drew the attention of a crowd of onlookers who came to lend support to the driver of the two-wheeler who was with his wife and infant baby.

Witnesses say that the driver of the truck even took out an iron bar from the vehicle with an intention to hit the driver of the two-wheeler but he was stopped by his colleagues.

It was at this moment the City Police and Traffic Personnel approached the spot and took control of the situation.

“If done with full commitment and passion whether it’s art, science or music, one can achieve their goal to make things work better and the satisfaction you will get is beyond your imagination”— Harador Khariong, Founder-Plant Parenthood

For Harador Khariong, a resident of Wahingdoh Shillong, East Khasi Hills Meghalaya, Plant Parenthood started as a hobby and out of love for plants during her college days. This eventually became more interesting and turned to be a career option in planting in the year 2020, especially succulents because they were relatively easier to take care of.

It was during the Northeast Food Show 2022 that Harador saw few entrepreneurs with their stall under the umbrella of PRIME, after which she learned in detail about PRIME and how it has helped entrepreneurs succeed in their business. Therefore, in the same year she enrolled herself in the Pre – Incubation batch 3.

Through the PRIME’s Pre-Incubation program, she learned more about upscaling her business and ultimately launched the ‘Plant Parenthood’ initiative.
