The Chief Minister appreciated the Meghalaya Tourism department that for initiating the “Heritage Walk” and stated that the whole idea behind having it is the belief that there is a culture and heritage in Shillong. There are many places in the city that tourists want to see, but somehow this was not packaged in the right manner, the CM opined.

“So it really is about trying to see the different values that are there and the great things that we have over here, and if we can package it and come out with good stories...that is the idea behind the Heritage Walk”, said Sangma.
