Entry to Golflink prohibited

Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaApril 23, 2021

East Khasi Hills district administration has prohibited any gathering of people and entry of visitors within the premises of the Golflink on every Sunday, till further orders.

The order was issued in view of the rapid rise in the number of COVID-19 cases in the District, wherein a large number of cases have been detected amongst the returnees, high risk contacts and others within Shillong Agglomeration area and  since the opening of tourist spots in East Khasi Hills District was prohibited by the State Government  with effect from April 23.

The order was also issued because Golflink is a popular spot for tourists and visitors in Shillong City, and the District Magistrate informed that reports have been received about overcrowding and non-maintaining of social distancing and mask-wearing at the said place especially on weekends and since the COVID-19 virus is known to spread especially in places where large number of people congregate,

The order states that non-compliance to SOPs at all times will be met with penalties as per law.
