A Correspondent

SHILLONG: Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma inspected the ongoing construction work of the Ganol Hydel Project in the presence of MLA and advisor to the Chief Minister, Thomas Sangma, Selsella MLA Ferlene A Sangma and officials from the department on Monday. The work on the 22.5 MW project started in 2014 and once completed, will greatly benefit the power- deficit State.

Citing multiple reasons for the delay in the execution of the project, including one of limited time and financial constraints, the Chief Minister said that necessary steps have been taken to iron out the issues being faced by the project and expressed hope that it can be completed by December next year.

The Chief Minister also visited the site of the Tribal Research Institute (TRI) near Babadam in the outskirts of Tura. The project is being funded by the Central Government at the cost of Rs 41 crore. A tribal museum and library of the District Council is also being constructed near the TRI. A Tribal University is also proposed to be constructed adjacent to it in the near future.
