The state government has sanctioned Rs 120 crore for an integrated secretariat complex at Tura in a 25 acre land.
This was informed by Chief Minister Conrad Sangma during the unveiling of a plague for a shopping complex at Nazing Bazaar today.
He said the project will be for the betterment of the public, which the government has consolidated land of various departments. “In this complex all the departments will be in the same place, CM office, cabinet office, conference room and all the facilities needed,” he said.
During the function, the Chief Minister highlighted the different plans line up for infrastructural development in the West Garo Hills district headquarter. He said the government has sanctioned funds for an IT park project which is around 120-130 crore. “We have finished IT park phase 1 now we will finish with phase 2 during September or October. We are also thinking of expanding the Tura beautification project throughout the town,” he added.
The shopping complex and parking facilities in Nazing Bazaar, he said aims to transform the commercial landscape of Tura by revitalizing the marketplace and creating a modern hub for commerce and community engagement.
Tura MP, Agatha Sangma commended the government’s efforts and said, “After passing through many hurdles we will be able to finally see Nazing bazaar complex being inaugurated. When the Chandamari field was inaugurated, I thought this will be the centre of Tura, because this was beautifully made, but when the Tura PA Sangma stadium was made, I thought about it the same way that maybe it will be the centre because it has been made in a grand way. I thought maybe Nazing Bazaar will be the centre of Tura and if you look at it in a way, this will be the sign of development of our town, because not just one area is being developed but it’s the development of the nook and corners of Tura.”
During the function an overview of the project’s scope, including plans for infrastructure development, market expansion and integration of modern amenities was made through a video presentation.
