Concerned over the tardy progress of the Greater Shillong Water Supply Scheme, the Meghalaya Home Minister Mr D D Lapang, made an on the spot verification of the project site at Mawphlang on July 19.

Mr Lapang, who also holds the Municipal Administration portfolio, acquainted himself with factors inhibiting its completion.

He has decided to convene a meeting of all the concerned agencies, including officials connected with it as well as the contractors, for sorting out all their problems.

The Greater Shillong Water Shillong Scheme, which has suffered a series of setback since the time it was conceived a decade ago, is already running behind schedule by several years.

The First Phase of the project was to have been commissioned sometime in April this year. Official sources said that some 70% of the works have since been completed involving an expenditure of Rs. 9.72 crore. Owing to inordinate delay in its completion, the Govt has been completed to revise the budget estimate by adding another Rs. 30.08 lakhs, sources said.
