ITANAGAR, 29 Jun: Minister for UD, ULB, F&CS Kamlung Mossang on Wednesday, inaugurated ‘Techi Takar Parking Lots Complex’ at Bank Tinali here amidst the presence of IMC mayor Tame Phassang, commissioner IMC and corporators.
Speaking on the occasion, the minister appreciated the team IMC for taking the initiative to functionalize
the parking lots which remained unused even after the completion of the building’s construction.
“Government creates assets but it is the duty of the public to keep them functional and take responsibility to maintain them properly,” he said.
Acknowledging the parking issue as one of the major challenges, the minister informed that three more multi-story parking lots will be completed by end of this year at Ganga, ESS Sector and in Civil Secretariat.
Elaborating on the parking lots, mayor Tame Phassang informed that the IMC will outsource the parking lots to private NGOs especially run by unemployed youths. The Techi Takar Parking Lots Complex has space for both two and four wheelers and can accommodate at least hundred vehicles.
While appealing to the denizens to cooperate with IMC to minimize parking problems, Phassang informed that more parking lots are coming up at Ganga-Itanagar, Naharlagun and Banderdewa for which the tender process has been already floated.
“Besides big assets, the IMC is also focusing on small parking spaces in the city however, construction of more parking lots will only be possible if administration provides land to the IMC,” the mayor added.
