SHILLONG, MAY 18: Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Saturday said that the collapse of a retaining wall has got nothing to do and will not have any impact on the ongoing construction of the new Assembly building at Mawdiangdiang.

Sangma has conducted an inspection to the new Assembly complex following reports that a retaining wall had collapsed on Friday.

“I got a call yesterday from the Speaker and he asked me to look into the matter and after doing my preliminary investigation and findings along with the PWD, I have been informed that this particular retaining wall has got nothing to do with the main construction of the building that is going on. In fact, we have been told that it is impossible to reach that location from here as it is very far away down on the sloping side,” he said.

Stating that the retaining wall was a completely different project that is going on and is quite far away from the new Assembly building, Sangma said, “It is also being implemented by the Assembly secretariat, it is not being implemented by the PWD.”

He also informed that this particular retaining wall was made a couple of years back, quite a long time back adding “the reason why this has gone down was because of the landslides that have taken place and the landslides and different kinds of reasons that this particular situation has happened.”

“Therefore, I want to clarify that it has got nothing to do with the construction of the building and it will in no way impact the construction of the building,” he added.
