Sangma unveils redeveloped IGP Point in Shillong

Shillong: Chief minister Conrad K Sangma unveiled the redeveloped and beautified IGP Point in the city on Friday.
The redevelopment of the point was part of the Re-Imagining Streets Initiative, launched in March 2024.
Speaking on the occasion, the CM said although the redeveloped point is a small space, it is a step towards enhancing the overall look of Shillong city. He informed that many such locations will be developed.
He also said the materials used in the redevelopment and beautification were locally sourced.
"It is important for us to ensure that we are using the existing space that we have in a very logical and practical manner," he emphasised.
The CM also announced that the 4-star hotel in Orchid Polo has been finalised 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 facelift 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. Also present during the unveiling were deputy CM Sniawbalang Dhar and other senior officials. Later, the CM and officials walked from the point to the Secretariat using the walkway.
