Shillong, May 21: Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma today chaired a joint meeting of the Police, Urban Affairs, and Veterinary departments in Tura to formally initiate the development of a modern police complex at Rongkhon.
The initiative aims to improve public service delivery and enhance green spaces within Tura.
The proposed police complex is designed to consolidate existing police facilities currently located in Tura Bazar. The relocation aims to alleviate congestion in the town area while simultaneously creating public green spaces. These green zones are expected to contribute to the aesthetic appeal of Tura, turning it into a cleaner and greener urban center.
During the meeting, the Chief Minister stressed the importance of integrated urban planning. He advocated for infrastructure development that balances progress with environmental sustainability and public convenience.
Officials from the concerned departments discussed land requirements, planning modalities, and coordination mechanisms for the phased implementation of the project, which is expected to not only improve administrative effectiveness but also enhance facilities for the police force and other public services.
The government reiterated its commitment to sustainable urban development and aims to enhance the quality of life in growing urban centers like Tura.
