He was inaugurating a seminar on “the development amenities in Greater Shillong” here on May 25.

Shillong, the Speaker he said had undergone “unprecedented and phenomenal growth” especially during the last decade. It was about time attention was given to the task of identifying the major problems and arrive at certain guidelines for present and future action plans.
