Shillong,
Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma today said efforts were being
made to accelerate the pace of progress of schemes under Pradhan Mantri
Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) in the state.
"We have
been quite slow and a number of factors were attributed to the slow
progress of the project such as terrain and prolonged monsoon," Sangma
said.
He said works would begin soon after the monsoon and a special review meeting was held recently to give the scheme a push.
"Till
date, preparation of DPRs have been completed only for about 800 km, out
of which, tender has been floated only for 200 km plus," he said.
Executive
engineers of the State PWD had been tasked with the responsibility of
preparing DPRs for the remaining projects, he said.
