Shillong: South West Khasi Hills District organized the first Aqua Festival on November 12 at Iew Mawkyrwat.

While addressing the gathering, Lyngdoh said that this is a Red Letter Day in the history of the District. She reminded one and all of the dignity of labour thereby encouraging the public to start a business of their own and not to depend on government jobs as government jobs has been saturated. She called upon the farmers to come forward and avail the opportunities offered by the Integrated Basin Development Livelihood Programme by registering themselves in the Enterprise Facilitation Centre (EFC) at the Basin Development Unit office.
