Guwahati: Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma assured the public that the recent collapse of a retaining wall near the Assembly complex in Mawdiangdiang will not impact the ongoing construction of the new Assembly building.
The collapsed wall, reportedly constructed a few years ago, is unrelated to the Assembly building project.

He attributed the collapse to landslides triggered by recent heavy rains.
The collapsed wall was a separate project undertaken by the Assembly Secretariat, not the Public Works Department (PWD) overseeing the Assembly building construction.
