Shillong: A new headache for the Meghalaya government in the Greenwood wedding case. It has come to light that the people who crossed over to Assam to attend a wedding at Greenwood Resort at Khanapara also mingled with locals at a reception party in Shillong on July 2. The reception was hosted at the residence of the bride’s mother at Lower Lachumiere, Shillong.
The government is working to understand how 41 people managed to cross to the neighbouring state Assam, at a time when inter-state movement is restricted. According to reports, only five passes were issued.
A magisterial enquiry is on by the District Commissioners of Ri-Bhoi District and East Khasi Hills district. The government will decide on action to be taken against these people after the enquiry report is submitted.
