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.
The Speaker emphasized that the regular monthly review mechanism has been pivotal in enhancing oversight and ensuring steady advancement of work.
Speaking after the meeting, Thomas A. Sangma said, “I am happy to share that the meeting was very productive. With these regular review meetings, we are able to monitor progress closely and identify what needs to be done as the construction moves forward.”
The Speaker reaffirmed that the timeline for the completion of the main Assembly Hall remains unchanged, with June 2026 set as the target. He added, “Once the main hall is completed, Assembly sessions can be convened at the new complex immediately thereafter.” Sangma 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.
