Sikkim Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang on Wednesday laid the foundation stone for various major infrastructure projects worth Rs 197 crore at the Sikkim Nationalised Transport (SNT) complex in Siliguri.
The projects include a healthcare center, guest house, and a renovated bus terminus, which will be developed over 2.1 acres of land.
The infrastructure development at the SNT premises is a long standing plan of the Sikkim government and has faced backlash on encroachment issues from nearby structures and residences.
However, CM Tamang assured of having reached consensus with ‘the neighbours’ as well as with the West Bengal government and Siliguri Municipal Corporation approving the construction of the infrastructure.
The Health care center will have 50 rooms and kitchen facilities with doctors and nurses catering to patients with clinical facility. It will also have suites for Governor, Chief Minister, Assembly Speakers and ministers and legislators.
It will have automatic bus parking, taxi vehicle parking along with a shopping complex, all of which will be constructed in 24 months.
CM Tamang further stated, the center will only be a transit guest house and not a permanent nursing home where visitors will have to renew their stay every four days.
