Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Wednesday inaugurated the Mendipathar Facilitation Centre at Mendipathar Railway Station in North Garo Hills in presence of Deputy Speaker Timothy D Shira.

Inaugurating the centre, the chief minister said that the facilitation centre will keep record of visitors to the region while adding that it will enable the district administration to effectively monitor flow of visitors from outside the region.

He also said that the rail head in Mendipathar is a boon for the people of the region as this will continue to facilitate movement of people from the region to the adjoining State of Assam. He said that the railway has helped people from North Garo Hills to use the railway to reach Guwahati.
