The Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma announced the inauguration of the Integrated Command Centre for Shillong which is a part of the Smart City project.
“This Integrated Command Centre which is next to the Shillong Technology Park, will be monitoring the entire security arrangements, traffic arrangements and all of these aspects through almost close to 300 CCTVs across the city and then further the other towns will be connected to it and this will be a complete Integrated Command Centre and we are hopeful that the work will be completed soon,” he informed.
He also said that work is underway for the Shillong Data Centre and said that the government is working towards improving the overall connectivity in the State through optical fibre. “We are also exploring and working towards ensuring that the submarine link or the cable link at Chittagong is accessible to Shillong,” he added.
He further stated that in a few weeks, the government will roll out the IT Policy of the State. He also added that it is important for society to realise the positive work that is going on in the IT sector and support it. “We are keen that Shillong should become one of the key IT hubs and gradually spread the IT sector to other parts of the State,” he added.
