Assam-Meghalaya Taxi Row Escalates, NPP MLA’s Vehicle Blocked at Jorabat

Protests over taxi restrictions intensified as Assam drivers blocked NPP MLA Rakkam A. Sangma’s vehicle at Jorabat. Assam drivers demanded he return to Meghalaya, forcing police to escort him. The blockade also halted Meghalaya taxis, worsening traffic. The dispute stems from Meghalaya taxi unions seeking restrictions on Assam vehicles at tourist spots. Sangma urged dialogue to resolve tensions.
