Govt to resurface all important roads in Shillong City: Dhar

Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaOctober 25, 2024

The state government has decided to resurface all important roads within Shillong city.

Informing this on Friday, deputy chief minister incharge urban affairs Sniawbhalang Dhar said, “The PWD is preparing the estimates to resurface all important roads within the city so that we will get good roads.”

The decision was taken after the government decided not to go ahead with the construction of the smart road under the smart city project, after it was found unfeasible.

“That is smart city phase-II.  Why we abandon because there is some complication, the project cannot go ahead. In place of that, we are trying to replace from the state government a fresh resurfacing of the road of almost 40-50 kms within the city,” he said.

Dhar further informed that he would get the update from the officers on the present status of the failed smart road in Lachumiere area and when it will be opened for public use.
