Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma has launched the ‘Paint My City’ campaign with the aim of transforming Tura into one of the cleanest and most picturesque towns in India. The virtual launch was attended by Speaker and MLA of North Tura, Thomas A Sangma, Deputy Commissioner of West Garo Hills, Jagdish Chelani, CEM of GHADC, Albinus Marak, and other officials.
Speaking at the launch, CM Sangma highlighted the initiative’s focus on enhancing the town’s aesthetic appeal by painting boundary walls, government offices, and educational institutions.
He further emphasized the importance of community involvement, encouraging citizens to paint their own homes and businesses. “The campaign aims to create a sense of satisfaction and pride among participants by seeing the long-term impact of their efforts,” he added.
The Chief Minister explained that the ultimate goal is to create a city where every boundary board, house, and building is painted, resulting in a cohesive and attractive appearance. “The goal is to expand this into a large-scale program that involves the entire community,” he said.
The ‘Paint My City’ campaign will not only beautify Tura but will also be launched in Jowai and Shillong, reflecting the state government’s commitment to enhancing urban landscapes across Meghalaya.
