Shillong, Feb 1: Speaker of the Meghalaya Legislative Assembly, Thomas A. Sangma, has expressed his disappointment with the progress of the work at the new Assembly building at Mawdiangdiang.
Nonetheless, the Speaker is positive that the new Assembly building will be completed by its deadline of September 2024.
Sangma on Thursday informed that he was not happy with the progress of work after conducting a site inspection. “I have asked them to expedite the progress. Discussions were made about the delay of materials to arrive leading to the slow progress. Since the main hall or the central hall will have a dome which is a pre-fabricated steel structure, so 50% of the materials have arrived,” he said.
He added that the work is almost completed except for the central hall. “I have been assured that the central hall will be completed by March. I am taking personal interest, so I will be regularly visiting the site and ensure work doesn’t get delayed,” he further said.
