SHILLONG: Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma announced the construction of an Rs 51.7 crore skywalk in the scenic Mawkdok region of East Khasi Hills.
The announcement was made during his visit to Mawkdok village on Monday as part of the state’s “CM Connect” initiative, a public outreach programme to directly engage with local communities.
The state government completed the tendering process for the project and confirmed that construction will begin after the current monsoon season.
The upcoming skywalk, described as a “future engineering marvel,” has been designed to offer stunning panoramic views of Mawkdok’s lush green valleys and dramatic cliffs. The structure will include a 40-metre-long walkway with a 7-metre-wide cantilever section, making it one of the longest cantilever skywalks in the country. “This is a project that will change the face of tourism in the area and create new opportunities for the local economy,” said Chief Minister Sangma during his address.
He emphasized that the project would not only attract more tourists but also generate employment and benefit local businesses. (ANI)
