Conrad fulfils wishes, gifts visually impaired musicians instruments

Shillong: Meghayala’s music-savvy chief minister Conrad K Sangma on Tuesday fulfilled the wishes of the Eastern Brook Band, a talented group of visually impaired musicians, by providing them with musical instruments.

The Eastern Brook Band, comprising four members, has been making waves in the local music scene with their soulful performances despite the challenges posed by their visual impairment.
“The band’s request for musical instruments was met with a generous response from the chief minister, who was deeply impressed by their talent, dedication, and passion for music,” said an official in the CMO.
“This initiative demonstrates the chief minister’s commitment to inclusivity and the empowerment of all sections of society, particularly those with disabilities,” the official added, noting that the Meghalaya Grassroots Music Programme aims to provide a platform for local artists to showcase their talent.
