During the discussion, Governor Malik praised Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
It may be mentioned here that Union Home Minister Amit Shah visited Shillong to pave the way for resolving the boundary issue two days ago.
The Tourism industry of the State has collapsed due to the inability to attract any tourists from outside to Meghalaya due to the present pandemic conditions. There has been a negative impact on the Tourism sector due to COVID all over the country and in the world. ''However, with the improvement of Meghalaya and the COVID situation, the Tourism industry will gradually recover if some policy rules allow tourists from outside to visit the hill State.
Otherwise if it continues for a long time, the State and its economy will be adversely affected.
