The Khasi Tourist Taxi Association (KTTA) has announced a ban on vehicles from Assam entering Meghalaya, amid growing tensions between the two neighbouring states. The decision has raised concerns among transport operators, tourists and residents who regularly travel between Assam and Meghalaya.
According to reports, the association’s move is linked to recent disputes and allegations involving vehicles and transport operators from the two states. The development could affect tourism and inter-state transportation, particularly during the busy travel season.
Authorities are expected to closely monitor the situation and take steps to prevent further escalation. Meghalaya and Assam share strong social, economic and cultural ties, with thousands of people travelling between the states every day for work, business and tourism.
The latest development has also prompted calls for dialogue between transport associations and the respective state authorities to resolve the dispute peacefully and ensure the uninterrupted movement of people and vehicles.
