Blockade on Guwahati‑Shillong Highway Enters Second Day, Traffic Disrupted

The protestors have kept the Guwahati‑Shillong road blocked for a second consecutive day, forcing commuters to seek alternate routes. The highway, which serves as the main arterial connection between Assam and Meghalaya, sees heavy passenger and freight movement, and the stoppage has begun to affect trade and travel in the region.
Local authorities have deployed police units along the stretch to monitor the situation and prevent any escalation. Officials are in talks with the demonstrators, urging them to clear the road while addressing their grievances, though no specific timeline for resolution has been announced.
Travelers are advised to avoid the corridor until the blockade is lifted and to follow updates from state transport departments. The continued disruption underscores the strategic importance of the Guwahati‑Shillong link for both states' economies.
