The vehicles were stopped at Umtyngngar. Police arrived at the spot after receiving information and subsequently detained 10 members of the group.
The HNYF had earlier imposed a ban on Assam tourist taxis from proceeding to the tourist spots in the state in the interest of the local taxis. The drivers’ union had also earlier raised a similar demand.
