Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma today inspected several ongoing projects within Tura and its adjoining areas.
He inspected the ongoing construction of the Tura Medical College at Doldegre, around 7km from the town, where Tura Civil Hospital is located.
Reviewing the ongoing construction with officials of the Health Department, Deputy Commissioner of West Garo Hills and officials of the construction company, Sangma said that the pace of construction is slow but has at least been speeded up recently.
“The civil works of the college should be completed by June-July next year,” he was quoted as saying in a press release. “We are hopeful to complete the infrastructure and start the medical college. The process to increase the beds in Tura Civil Hospital will also start soon.”
The CM also directed the DC, Jagdish Chelani, to hold regular reviews with the construction company and ensure that the college is completed by next year.
Meanwhile, Sangma also inspected the ongoing construction of the Tura Youth Convention Centre, which is coming up at Dakopgre, and also the track and field stadium.
Expressing happiness over the ongoing construction of the sports and youth facilities, he said, “We expect that within one and a half years, the stadium and the convention centre will be inaugurated. These two infrastructures will be a blessing for Tura town and the state as a whole as different kinds of sports, games and events at the state and national level can be held in Tura in the near future.”
