The lease agreement will span 60 years, with the option to extend it for an additional 30 years.

The leased land will be used for the development of several new projects, including luxury accommodations and recreational facilities. A key component of the plan includes the construction of five-star hotels, which will cater to upscale travelers seeking a luxurious experience in the heart of Meghalaya’s natural beauty. In addition to the hotels, the tourism department aims to introduce lake cruise services, providing visitors with a chance to immerse themselves in the tranquil charm of Umiam Lake from a unique waterfront perspective a one-of-a-kind experience.

Playful little dogs

Yoranian puppies Mia Sofia and Piper Isabella at 6 weeks old—"I wanted to share my puppies with you! Mia Sofia (left) and Piper Isabella (right) at 6-weeks-old . They are Yoranian puppies. Their mom is a Pom, and their dad is a Yorkie. They have the fluffy Pom hair and curly Pom tails. They are very playful little dogs and they're also very loving!"

The Yoranian, also called a Yorky Pom, is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Pomeranian and the Yorkshire Terrier. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.
