Shillong, Feb 3 – Maldives held its Cabinet meeting underneath the pristine Indian Ocean, Nepal atop the Sun-kissed Mt. Everest and now Meghalaya’s Tourism department officials held theirs inside a dimly-lit cave!
Tourism officials, village council heads, NGOs, tour operators and taxi drivers huddled deep inside the Syndai or Jogindra Cave in Jaintia Hills along the Indo-Bangla border on Tuesday with only solar lanterns and Dongmusas (lighted bamboo torches) as accompaniments during the meeting.
The conference room was of impressive proportions, 25 metre high and 30 metre wide, architectured with stalactites and stalagmites. This place was the favoured hideout for erstwhile Jaintia royals in times of war for strategising and regrouping. ASSAM TRIBUNE
