The North East badminton championship returns to Shillong after a ten‑year hiatus, marking the city's re‑entry into regional sports hosting.
Shillong has reopened its doors to the North East badminton championship, an event that has been absent from the city for ten years. The tournament, which brings together top shuttlers from the region, is set to be staged at the state’s premier indoor arena.
Organisers and local authorities have been busy upgrading facilities and ensuring that the venue meets national standards. The revival is seen as a boost for regional sports, providing athletes with a platform to compete without travelling far.
The championship is expected to draw spectators from across the Northeast, offering a modest lift to the local hospitality sector. Officials hope that the successful conduct of the event will pave the way for Shillong to host more national and regional competitions in the future.
