The Hynñiewtrep Integrated Territorial Organisation, HITO, Ri-Bhoi District, along with its Central Executive Committee, has filed complaints with the Food Safety Department and Nongpoh Police over the alleged transportation of beef from Assam to Shillong without verification of the required licences and documents.
According to HITO, its members discovered the meat inside an Eeco van with resistration no AS01GQ 6299 at Narang Petrol Pump on 17 October, 2026. The organisation suspects the meat was being transported for sale at Iewduh market in Shillong.
