The first picture shows the deplorable condition of the house where Swami Vivekananda stayed during his visit to Shillong in April, 1901. A recent picture (bottom) reveals the complete disappearence of the house and depicts total apathy from governments both at the State and Centre towards a structure of historical importance.

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.
