Nagaland CM Neiphiu Rio Inaugurates Various Facilities At Hornbill Festival Venue

KOHIMA: Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio, on Tuesday, inaugurated various facilities to observe the 25th edition of the Hornbill Festival at Kisama, commencing from December 1. 

CM Rio inaugurated the International Morung, the Hornbill Festival app, a marketing complex of handloom and craft pavilions, a medical booth-cum-cash vending facility, Toyota Ki, and a tourism department lounge. 

He praised the local artisans, workers, and everyone involved for their tireless efforts in completing the physical structures for the Hornbill Festival. 

The Nagaland CM stated that the festival has gone beyond being merely a Naga event and has emerged into an international celebration, drawing tourists from across the globe. 

Meanwhile, the third edition of the Me•Gong Festival, which promises to be another amazing event with well-known headliners, mouth watering food, and thrilling entertainment activities, has Garo Hills buzzing with excitement.

With the festival taking place from November 29 to 30 at the same location like in past years—Baljek Airport in Jengjal, West Garo Hills—anticipation is already in the air.

The Me•Gong Festival, which derives its name from a flower, honors the lively way of life, rich culture, and unique customs of the Garo Hills region.

With both domestic and foreign talents scheduled to perform, the 2024 program is more impressive than ever. The well-known fusion/pop group Euphoria, rock icons Indus Creed, Swedish rock titans Europe, and multi-talented actor and DJ-producer Udita Goswami are the main acts.
