Shillong, July 23: Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma has expressed optimism that the much-anticipated New Meghalaya Legislative Assembly building at Mawdiangdiang will soon be ready for use.
Providing an update during a tree plantation programme held at the new complex, the Chief Minister noted that while substantial progress has been made, work on the main Assembly Hall is still ongoing.
He explained that the delay is primarily due to technical aspects involving security protocols and sound acoustics, which require special treatment to address issues like reverberation and echo control. “These are essential for ensuring that the hall functions effectively in line with modern legislative standards,” the Chief Minister said.
Despite the remaining work, Sangma expressed confidence that the pending tasks would be completed soon, adding that discussions are underway with the Speaker and concerned departments to expedite the process.
During the event, the Chief Minister also lauded the commitment of Governor Shri Chandrashekhar H. Vijaya Sankar, who, despite recent health challenges, continues to actively engage in public service. He thanked the Governor and all MLAs for their support and participation, calling it a significant moment in the state’s legislative history.
The Governor, visibly impressed by the new complex, remarked, “Before entering the campus, I caught a glimpse of the Assembly Building. I must say, it is a wonderful structure. I am truly grateful to the Government of Meghalaya for constructing such an impressive facility.”
Once completed, the new Assembly complex is expected to serve as a modern legislative hub and a symbol of Meghalaya’s progress, combining architectural innovation with environmental responsibility.
