Shillong: The decades-old demand of the people of Shillong was finally fulfilled on Friday, after South Shillong BJP Legislator Sanbor Shullai inaugurated the Sanbor Shullai Road, connecting Laban with Lumparing, and cutting the otherwise travel time of 45 minutes to 5 minutes.
This project was a long-felt need of the people, and successive MLAs had tried to turn it into a reality. The residents of the locality were happy to see the road being inaugurated.
“I am happy that this has finally been done. I have heard about it since the time I was growing up,” said Aslam Rymbai, a resident of Lumparing.
He added that the travel time has reduced to a minimum which will also enable those who use the public mode of transport to pay less as hopefully, the cabbies will charge less now.
The inauguration programme also witnessed huge participation of local leaders and residents of both Laban and Lumparing.
