Acting on the annoying complaints
lodged by the tourist drivers who were charged unfairly by the Assam police
patrol and MVIs (Motor Vehicle Inspectors) the Meghalaya government warned to
cease the act by forwarding a letter to the Secretary of Assam State Transport
Authority on 31st January.
It is not even a month after
the launch of the new transport regulation by Assam Joint Commissioner of
Transport, the reports of harassment outcry by public and drivers of Meghalaya have
far increased as the penalty imposed is too heavy from Rs. 1500 to Rs. 2000.
This practice of
implementing fine on Meghalaya tourist drivers for carrying luggage on rooftop by
MVIs and Assam police, the state government has warned to the neighboring state
transport authority to put a stay on this order as its people are unnecessarily
facing harassment.
According to P.M Sangma,
Secretary, Meghalaya State Transport Authority this act by the government was
initiated after the joint plea from its Sumo Owners and Drivers Association to
stop the unfair means of penalty on lightweight luggage carriers.
