TURA /Khliehriat: Following instructions received from the state government, Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Association and Animal Husbandry and Veterinary department, the district magistrates of East Jaintia Hills and West Garo Hills District have made minute changes in the restrictions which are in place in the districts.
As per the order, all postal services in the WGH have now been directed to resume their services. Also shops dealing with fish, animal feed and fodder, seeds, fertilisers, pesticides and agricultural shops, veterinary hospitals, dispensaries and clinics, both in public and private sectors, are to remain open during the lockdown period.
