Shillong, May 27: The cabinet has approved the proposed regulation on the use of name boards on official vehicles of the state government.
Addressing journalists after the cabinet meeting on Wednesday (May 27), Chief Minister Conrad Sangma told reporters that to address the concerns around VIP culture, we had earlier introduced an SOP regulating the use of sirens, lights, and other privileges on government vehicles. In line with that, the Transport Department has now identified the specific positions authorised to use official name boards and prescribed a standard format based on designation.
“The approved guidelines primarily cover officials in government, judiciary, administration, and select statutory positions. This step will ensure greater clarity, consistency, and discipline in the use of official vehicles across the state”, he added.
