The
Gangtok town has been already been facing
pressure from all
aspects
due to rise in population and has
little scope for availability of space for
infrastructure development. The development of
Alternate Township is essential to cope with
the future urbanization.
The
government has pleased to appoint RITES, a
Government of India enterprise as consultants.
The project has been already prepared for
development of township at Reshithang /Ranka
covering 750 hectares requiring
Rs.260crores.The project has been submitted
for consideration by the Government of India.

Neighbourhood Market Development
|
|
The
capital town of Gangtok has small markets in
its neighborhood like Ranipool, Tadong and
Burtuk. At present the utilization of only one
marketing center in the capital town has been
creating congestion.
The development of these markets with
the facilities available in the capital market
will help in decongesting the capital town.

Lal
Bazaar is the main marketing center for
day to day consumer items. There is no
scope for horizontal development and the
proposal is to make multistoried

Minister and the Union minister Shri Jagmohanji

the scheme and the work will be taken by
