M’laya govt to build residential apartments worth Rs 9 cr for IAS and MCS officers

SHILLONG, May 13: The state government is set to spend approximately Rs 9 crore on the construction of new residential apartments for IAS and MCS officers behind Taraghar in Shillong.

This package includes comprehensive site development, an approach road, three gates and a water tank. Additionally, the complex will feature a rainwater harvesting system, street lighting, air conditioning, a backup DG set and a 13-person elevator.
The move is part of the government’s efforts to upgrade housing infrastructure for senior civil servants stationed in the state capital.
