GANGTOK, July 4 (PTI) - A half a kilometre stretch will be developed into a state-of-the-art 'Fashion Street' in Sikkim on the NH-31A here at a cost of nearly Rs 17 crore.
The Urban Development and Housing Department (UDHD) will transform the stretch between Sisha-Golai, Pani House and the tri-junction towards Nam-Nang into a combination of branded showrooms, extravagant restaurants, beauty parlours, saloons and high-end shops, Additional Chief Engineer, UDHD, C Zangpo told PTI.
"We plan to develop the area as a congregation point for all to meet, shop, relax and enjoy," he said.
The department has started consultancy for developing the stretch of NH-31A as a trendy shopping destination for visitors to Gangtok, which would also decongest the MG Mall, he said.
