SHILLONG, Feb 24: With less than 24 hours left for the enforcement of the silence period in poll-bound Meghalaya, political parties and their candidates were on Friday seen concluding their campaigns.
During the day, several candidates, including BJP’s North Shillong candidate M Kharkrang, NPP’s East Shillong candidate Ampareen Lyngdoh and West Shillong candidate Mohendro Rapsang, held their last election meetings.

He asserted that he has tried his best to serve the people.
