Shillong, Meghalaya – The Speaker of the Meghalaya Legislative Assembly confirmed that the construction of the new assembly complex is on track to be finished by mid-November. The announcement was made during a recent assembly session, where officials highlighted that major structural work has already been completed and interior fittings are underway.
