         The Public Works Department of the Shillong Municipal Board grants permission for construction of any residential/office building. It looks after the construction works of the municipality Roads, Drainage system, Local Community Halls, etc.
         Without the permission from this department, the Shillong citizen cannot construct any building or so. The PWD also assess the annual rental value (ARV) for any newly constructed buildings, which is used for the calculation of taxes in future.

      There are mainly two divisions: -

                                    1. Civil Division.

       Civil Division looks after the construction works of the Municipality roads, drainage system, municipal buildings, local community hall, etc.
       Enforcement Division looks after unauthorized construction, assessment to tax of buildings, etc.
       There is no permanent electrical division, but there is an Electrician who looks after Street Light arrangements.
