Shillong: The state government is dropping 103.65 crore rupees on a new State Guest House. It sits in Umsawli at New Shillong Township. Officials want the job done fast.
The Directorate of Urban Affairs put out a call for sealed tenders from registered Class-I contractors to lead the build. Workers have exactly 24 months to finish the site once the contract starts. Money is flowing into local infrastructure.
Last year, the state finished a different guest house at Taraghar, near Ward’s Lake. That project cost 24.91 crore rupees. It features 18 premium rooms and several VIP suites. Officials noted, "The Directorate of Urban Affairs has invited sealed tenders from registered Class-I contractors for the project, which has an estimated cost of Rs 103.65 crore."

The government is also moving to unclog city traffic with the Reimagining Shillong Street project. The Directorate of Urban Affairs put out tenders for two corridors at a combined cost of 60.55 crore rupees. Corridor one carries a price tag of 30.27 crore, while corridor two sits at roughly the same amount.
Construction crews have a tight six month window to wrap up the work. The plan targets major junctions and road sections where bottlenecking slows down travel times and chokes city mobility.
