Shillong, Jan 15: The cabinet on Wednesday amended the State Anthem by incorporating Pnar language in the lyrics.
Chief Minister Conrad Sangma announced this after chairing the cabinet meeting.
“I am happy to announce that the cabinet has today decided to amend the Meghalaya State Anthem and we are happy to include few lines in Pnar in the State Anthem.”
“This will be unveiled in the Meghalaya Games, which will be held in Wahiajer in Jaintia Hills and we will be playing it on that day,” he said.
The chief minister said the decision was based on some of the suggestions from representatives from Jaintia Hills particularly the deputy chief minister Sniawbhalang Dhar and the public at large.
