Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma on Monday inspected the ongoing construction work of the Ganol Hydel Project.

He was accompanied by Thomas Sangma, MLA and advisor to the Chief Minister, Selsella MLA Ferlene A Sangma, and officials from the department.

It may be mentioned here that the work of the 22.5 MW Ganol Hydel Project began in 2014 and once completed will greatly benefit the power deficit State.

The Chief Minister cited multiple reasons for the delay in the execution of the project including one of limited time and financial constraints.

"Necessary steps have been taken to iron out the issues faced by the project and it is hoped that the project is completed by December next year," Sangma further said.

Conrad Sangma also visited the site of the Tribal Research Institute (TRI) near Babadam in the outskirts of Tura.
