Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on April 17 requested his Meghalaya counterpart Conrad Sangma to ensure hassle-free passage of vehicles carrying essential commodities from Guwahati to Barak Valley of southern Assam and vice-versa through Meghalaya.
In a telephonic conversation with Sangma, Sonowal said since vehicles carrying essential commodities for Barak Valley pass through the territory of Meghalaya, a helping hand from the authorities of Meghalaya enables the state government of Assam to reach out to the people of Barak Valley faster.
