Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Friday unveiled the redeveloped and beautified IGP Point in Shillong.

The redevelopment of the point is a part of the Re-Imagining Streets Initiative which was launched in March 2024.

Speaking during the occasion, Sangma, said though the redeveloped point is a small space, it is a step towards the efforts to lift up the overall look of Shillong city and informed that many such locations will be developed. “It is important for us to ensure that we are using the existing space that we have in a very logical and practical manner.

The Chief Minister also informed that the 4 Star Hotel in Orchid Polo has been finalized and construction will start soon. “We are trying to maximize the utility of the assets and the land that the government has and in the next twelve months a major face lift in the overall look of Shillong city is expected,” he added. He also informed that the Integrated Command Centre is in its final stages of completion and will be inaugurated soon. He also said that the materials used in the redevelopment and its beautification are locally sourced.

Also present during the unveiling was Deputy Chief Minister, Sniawbalang Dhar and other senior officials. Later the Chief Minister and the dignitaries walked from the point to the Secretariat using the walkway.
