Work begins on Ganol power project

SHILLONG: In what may be termed as promising news for the State, work on the Ganol Small Hydro Project (GSHP) has begun and is expected to be completed in three and half years from now.
MeECL Engineer Elias Lyngdoh informed that the excavation work has begun and the drawings of other infrastructures of the project are also being finalized.
The Ganol Small Hydro Project (GSHP) is being implemented in Chibragre, around 15 km from Tura in West Garo Hills.
Once completed, the multi-crore project, which has encountered several delays over the years, would boost the power generation of Meghalaya.
The Rs. 350 crore 21.5 MW project was conceived way back in 2006. While half of the expense for the project will be borne by the State government, the remaining would be managed through loans.
