The Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) held a meeting in Shillong with stakeholders to promote the use of national waterways and cargo transport in Meghalaya. The meeting aimed to understand trade requirements and integrate the region through rivers. The use of waterways could reduce logistics costs and make coal exports more competitive. The IWAI has requested the state government to provide a list of potential cargo transport routes. The movement of cargo through waterways is cost-effective and environmentally friendly compared to road transport.
