Meghalaya Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong who is also in charge of PWD Roads, convened a crucial meeting with the respective Deputy Commissioners and issued directives to expedite the land acquisition procedures and initiate necessary measures to overcome the obstacles.

The Dainadubi-Darugre-Williamnagar road project, sanctioned under the prestigious Bharatmala initiative, holds substantial potential for infrastructure enhancement and regional connectivity.

Elaborating further, Prestone Tynsong revealed that the tendering process for the Dainadubi-Darugre-Williamnagar road project is nearing its conclusion. Concurrently, NHIDCL is also engaged in the repair and rehabilitation of specific sections of the Shillong-Dawki road, signifying the comprehensive efforts aimed at upgrading the state’s road infrastructure.

“The tendering process for Package 1 of the Shillong-Dawki road is in its final stages and will be issued shortly. Meanwhile, Package 2, Package 3, and Package 4 are currently undergoing technical scrutiny, followed by the financial evaluation,” stated Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong.
