After violence broke out in Shillong during a black-flag motorcycle rally on August 19, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma are joining forces to restore peace.
The clashes led to vandalism and attacks on public property, and even spilled over into Assam with incidents involving Assam-registered vehicles.
