Prestone Tynsong

SHILLONG:

Deputy Chief Minister in-charge PWD (Roads) Prestone Tynsong said that the department has already cancelled the work order issued to contractors, who made undue delay to complete Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) projects under Mendipathar constituency.

There are six numbers of incomplete PMGSY projects under the constituency, Tynsong said, while replying to a query raised by All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) MLA Marthon Sangma in the Assembly, March 10.

Out of this, two projects – 1.35 to Chipakram and T06 to (Matchakol) Dimit Aga – have been re-allotted in January 2022 and for two others – T01 to Gambil Apal and T06 to Dangra Songma, the process of re-tender evaluation is on, he informed.

He said two projects – 1.21 to Galwanga and 1,023-Bangsi Apal is Cheran via Bangsi Dogru – too are in progress.

He further informed that the main reason for delay of these projects is due to slow performance of contractors. Accordingly, work orders to such contractors have been cancelled, Tynsong added.
