    A great initiative.

    The condition of present halls in Shillong is very poor.

    This exemption would boost ventures such as Dreamland to develop some good Cinema Halls in Shillong and other parts of Meghalaya.

    Cinema is a phenomena that binds all Indians across the globe into one thread.

    Thanks to the Meghalaya Govt.
