Shillong, Jan 13: The Hynniewtrep Youth Council (HYC) wanted the Meghalaya Transport Corporation’s (MTC) to reconsider its decision to discontinue bus services for students effective April 1, 2026 as the move would severely impact thousands of school-going children.
“HYC questions how a public sector undertaking entrusted with serving the people can take such a regressive and insensitive decision without placing in the public domain any credible alternative arrangements,” HYC president Roykupar Synrem said in a statement on Tuesday.

The HYC asserted that education cannot be disrupted due to administrative or financial mismanagement and demands immediate reconsideration and withdrawal of the decision.
