Meghalaya Government is targeting to complete all the projects under Smart City Mission within one year. Deputy Chief Minister in-charge Urban Affairs Sniawbhalang Dhar said most of the smart city projects are either completed or under progress. “May be hopefully within one year likely all the projects should be completed,” he asserted.
According to Dhar, around 15-17 smart city projects are currently being implemented, each with different timelines. Asked on specific progress, Dhar informed that the parking project near the Additional Secretariat is almost completed. “May be maximum may be four to the five months it will be completed,” he said.
The Deputy Chief Minister further stated that the government is deliberating on management of parking facilities, with plans to involve Rangbah Shnong in non-municipal areas and municipal officials in municipal areas. “The street parking policy is expected to be fully implemented by the end of the year,” Dhar added.
