Shillong, Sep 17: The Meghalaya government has proposed to declare the David Scott Trail a protected heritage site.
The Arts and Culture Department issued a notification proposing to designate the trail in Sohbar Sirdarship, East Khasi Hills, as a “Protected Site” under heritage preservation laws.
The government has invited public feedback on the proposal, with objections to be considered if submitted within 30 days of the notification.
The David Scott Trail is a historical trekking route named after the British administrator David Scott who developed it in the 1800s as a mule track connecting Assam to Sylhet.
