SHIVADEEP RAI
Gangtok: 99 percent of the renovation and beautification work of MG Marg along the stretch from the Tourism Department to Kiran Dry Cleaner has been completed to date, and the remaining 1 percent is expected to be completed within this month, informed Mr. Rabi N Sharma, Divisional Engineer (Planning) of the Urban Development and Housing Department (UD&HD).
The remaining work includes the installation of lamp posts by the Power Department, chairs, and decorative equipment. The fencing surrounding the statue of Mahatma Gandhi has been removed for a replacement to give a novel look. On January 21, several sign boards (measuring more than 3 ft in width) of the shops and stores located at MG Marg were removed by UD&HD. This was done to bring uniformity in the signboards of all the shops and stores located at MG Marg, said Mr. Tobjor Dorji, Commissioner cum Secretary of UD&HD.
He also informed us that sign boards measuring less than or equal to 3 feet in width are allowed to be placed in shops and stores vertically and horizontally. The proposal to do the same was communicated to all the shopkeepers of MG Marg earlier during a meeting between UD&HD, stakeholders, and the Chamber of Commerce. He said that they had been given prior notice and information before removing the signboards.
