Shillong, Dec 8: A review meeting on the ongoing construction of the new Meghalaya Legislative Assembly building at Mawdiangdiang was held today.
Although such meetings often lead to an announcement of a further delay in completion of the project, this time there was no such postponement, with June 2026 maintained as the expected date of completion.
The meeting was chaired by Speaker Thomas A Sangma, with Deputy Chief Minister and Minister in charge of Parliamentary Affairs, Prestone Tynsong, also in attendance along with different civil servants.
The review assessed the latest progress of construction and addressed key issues related to the execution of the project.
Sangma reaffirmed that the timeline for the completion of the main Assembly Hall remains unchanged, with June 2026 set as the target. He added that once the main hall is completed, Assembly sessions can be convened at the new complex immediately thereafter.
The Speaker also informed that he will conduct an onsite inspection of the project on December 11 to personally assess the pace and quality of construction work.
