Meghalaya Tourism Loses Nearly 100% Revenue Amid Border Dispute, Says Minister

The tourism sector in Meghalaya has reportedly taken a severe hit, with losses approaching 100% as a result of an ongoing border dispute, the state’s tourism minister said on Tuesday. The dispute, which has escalated in recent weeks, has deterred visitors and disrupted travel plans, according to the minister. Minister Timothy D. Shira highlighted that the tourism industry, a key contributor to the state’s economy, has been left largely idle amid the uncertainty. The government is reportedly exploring measures to mitigate the impact and restore confidence among tourists.
