SHILLONG: Meghalaya Governor V Shanmuganathan has suggested that the Northeast should also find a mention in India’s National Anthem.
Addressing the 65th Plenary Session of the North Eastern Council here on Friday, the Governor, who also holds the additional charge of Manipur, said that the beautiful region deserves a mention in the National Anthem.
This will further integrate the people of Northeast with the Nation, he felt.
He also said that lives of North East India legends should be included in school curriculums across the country.
“There is a need for all the North East States to have proper guest houses in Shillong to facilitate important meetings at Shillong and also to help tourists and students coming to the city,” he said
“I am informed that proposal for Manipur Yatri Niwas/Guest House at Shillong is pending with the NEC for want of Meghalaya Urban Development Agency clearance from the Government of Meghalaya. Since the State Government has already submitted DPR to NEC, the Council may coordinate and facilitate in obtaining clearance from MUDA,” he said.
