Shillong, Oct 31: Meghalaya Legislative Assembly Speaker Thomas A Sangma, along with key officials, conducted a detailed inspection of the under construction new Legislative Assembly building at Mawdiangdiang on Thursday.
Joined by Commissioner & Secretary Dr. Andrew Simons, Secretary Malthus Sangma, and officers from the Assembly Secretariat, the Speaker reviewed critical stages of the project and later held a joint meeting with the involved departments.
Following the inspection, the Speaker expressed satisfaction with the project’s progress, particularly in light of recent technical challenges. “Today, I visited the main hall where the steel structure is being erected. Previously, there were some miscommunications among the contractor, designers, and the PWD, but these issues have now been resolved. Safety is our top priority, both for the workers and the structural integrity of the building. We have established a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to ensure this,” he said.
He further emphasized that while the project is nearing completion, with 90% of the right and left wings—including the Speaker’s office, Chief Minister’s chamber, Secretariat offices, and library—already finished, the central wing remains pending. Acknowledging that the project is approximately one month behind schedule, Sangma confirmed a final timeline with no further extensions.
“We are committed to staying on track. The contractor and Project Management Consultant have assured us that the dome structure will be completed within the next 45 days, marking a major milestone toward the building’s completion,” the Speaker stated firmly.
