SHILLONG: It is often said there is always a first time for everything. For the first time ever in the jail history of Meghalaya, an impossible of sorts has occurred in Williamnagar jail.
The jail, which gained notoriety for two rash jailbreaks recently, has a different narrative this time. Its celebration time for the inmates as two of their own fellow mates, Platon Ch Marak (a convict) and Mansrang N Sangma (UTP) cleared their SSLC Examination 2015, held under MBOSE, securing 39% and 40.33% respectively.
