There were reports of 4 civilians assaulted. A police gypsy and a bus requisitioned by the police were also vandalised.
Majority of the shops kept their shutters down in the city’s commercial hub Police Bazar or Khyndailad. Even government offices either remained shut or wore a deserted look in response to call for non-cooperation given by several pressure groups.
A two-hour shutdown was also observed in Tura in Garo Hills.
Passenger vehicles with Assam registration are still not allowed to enter Meghalaya from Jorabat.
Internet shut down in the 7 districts of West Jaintia Hills, East Jaintia Hills, East Khasi Hills, Ri-Bhoi, Eastern West Khasi Hills, West Khasi Hills and South West Khasi Hills continues.
