SHILLONG: The much-awaited construction of the Polo Vendors Market which was supposed to be commissioned in October will be slightly delayed.
An official from the Shillong Municipal Board informed that the 95 per cent of the construction work was completed and now only minor works were left to be done on the project.
The idea behind the market is basically to rehabilitate the shopkeepers who were shifted from the place few years back.The structure is likely to transform the busy Polo market area.
It is said that the vendors market is proposed to rehabilitate 297 vendors and shopkeepers. The National Building Construction Corporation (NBCC) is implementing the project and the civic board is the beneficiary as the particular land where the market is coming up belongs to the Municipal Board.
The Central Government has sanctioned Rs 21.41 crore out of which Rs 10.70 crore has already been utilized.
