Shillong: The Meghalaya Pradesh Congress Committee on Saturday accused the NPP-BJP coalition of criminal negligence along the disputed border with Assam. Violence is spiraling. The party claims that a lack of security on key transit routes has paralyzed the state economy and choked off the delivery of essential medicines to hospitals.
Travelers are staying home. Hotels, homestays, taxi drivers, and local shopkeepers are hemorrhaging cash as safety concerns mount. The Congress insists the state is abandoning its duty to govern in favor of empty public relations stunts. They believe the current instability threatens the long-term reputation of the state, noting that "Brand Meghalaya" is being destroyed by an "incompetent" response to border friction.
Students and workers are now trapped in the fallout. The party warned that the administration ignores the suffering of citizens while relying on press releases to hide structural failures. They are calling for an immediate end to the posturing and a shift toward actual, mature diplomacy to secure the region. The Congress demands the government restore order, protect commuters, and start a real dialogue to settle the border dispute once and for all.
