SHILLONG: Lone NCP MLA, Saleng A Sangma has asked the state government to drop the plan of constructing a shopping mall at Barik and, instead, build a parking lot, saying it was the need of the hour.
“Shillong lacks parking space. The government should construct a parking lot at Barik and convert Khyndai Lad into a ‘pedestrian zone’ to reduce traffic jams and pollution,” he said.
Sangma also asked the government to explore the idea of introducing e-rickshaws as an eco-friendly alternative.
