Another project for which the construction has commenced is the redevelopment of the Municipal Market and parking area at Laitumkhrah.
Under the prestigious Smart Cities project, Government of Meghalaya has planned to construct a total of 6 km of smart roads at 16 locations of Shillong. Moreover, the state government will also construct rainwater harvesting systems at several locations of the city at an estimated cost of Rs 23 crore, and the tender for the same was floated earlier this year.
