State officials disclosed a set of projects designed to enhance road networks and promote tourism in West Garo Hills, a remote district of Meghalaya. The plan includes the construction of new rural roads, upgrading existing bridges, and setting up basic tourist amenities such as information centres and eco‑friendly lodging. Authorities said the initiatives will create employment opportunities and make the district more accessible to visitors and traders.

Officials emphasized that the development will be carried out with minimal environmental impact, preserving the region’s natural landscape.
