SHILLONG: The State Government has identified as many as 134 locations in the municipal areas of Shillong for installations of signage.
The idea to put up signage was initiated after observations were made that most of the cross roads in the city did not have signage and in the absence of any signage locating a particular address in the city had become a herculean task.
Principal Secretary, Urban Affairs, P. Naik, informed that an amount of Rs. 30 lakh has been earmarked under the 13th Finance Commission for installation of the signage.
Naik said that some roads would be named as link roads and added that the Urban Affairs Department will begin by introducing the signage in areas falling under the jurisdiction of the Shillong Municipality while other areas would be covered in subsequent phases.
