Following the indefinite taxi strike called by the Meghalaya Joint Action Committee of Commercial Vehicles or MJACCV, the district administration held a meeting on Thursday with various taxi associations in the state.
Talking to newsmen, East Khasi Hills Deputy Commissioner Isawanda Laloo informed that she met various taxi associations in Shillong to discuss the current strike called by the Meghalaya Joint Action Committee of Commercial Vehicles.
