In a heartwarming gesture, Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma had breakfast with the conservancy workers of Shillong Municipal Board, adding to their festive joy ahead of the Christmas and New Year celebrations. “A truly meaningful way to close the year, sharing breakfast with the unsung heroes of the Shillong Municipal Board. These remarkable women and men quietly care for our city, often unseen, yet always present,” the Chief Minister said.
“I remember travelling back home late one evening and saw them cleaning near Ward’s Lake. I stopped to meet them, and in that moment I realised how often we enjoy clean streets and surroundings without ever acknowledging the hands that make it possible. This was a very special early Christmas breakfast,” he said.
“As we celebrate Christmas and welcome the New Year, may we pause with gratitude in our hearts, honour their dignity, and walk alongside them in caring for our beautiful city,” he added.
