Two rag pickers take time out for a siesta outside the Bata store in GS Road. These children are mainly seen in Police Bazar area where there are a large number of commercial establishments. Curiously NGOs in the State working for upliftment of street children or in the field of child welfare have overlooked these rag pickers so far. (Photo by Rajib Roy)

The Shillong Times first appeared as a tabloid weekly on 10th August 1945 under the editorship of Late Sudhindra Bhusan Chaudhuri. In 1958 it was converted to a Daily. Owing to financial constraints, within six months it reverted back to a weekly.
