Police Reserve located at Jail Road to be shifted to New Shillong

As part of efforts to ease congestion in the state capital, the Cabinet on Wednesday approved the relocation of the Police Reserve to Tynring, within the New Shillong Township. A 50-acre site has been earmarked for the new Police Reserve, which will also serve as a corridor between the township’s administrative and knowledge zones.

Announcing the decision, Cabinet Minister and MDA 2.0 Spokesperson Paul Lyngdoh described the relocation as a crucial step in Shillong’s urban planning and decongestion efforts.

“This move will not only help decongest the state capital but also create space for further urban development,” Lyngdoh stated. With the Cabinet’s approval, the government will immediately begin work on establishing the new Police Reserve. Lyngdoh emphasised that relocating the facility will free up land for new development projects.
