Bus stand in 1990's Shillong, Meghalaya

Migrant labour pass their tin canisters and baggage into a bus through the window, in Shillong circa 1991. A Kit Kat advertisement dominates the old bus stand near the office of the Managing Director of the Meghalaya Transport Corporation. A kali-peeli black and yellow Hindustan Ambassador stands by on duty to pick up passengers and an Indian Army truck passes by. Maruti 800 cars dominate as do Tata buses. People crowd around a Shillong to Guwahati bus ticket counter where the man on duty operates an old black and white CRT computer monitor.
