The Meghalaya Public Works Department has pushed back the submission deadline for contracts on disaster‑affected road projects to 3 October, citing the need for additional time to attract bidders.
The Public Works Department (PWD) of Meghalaya announced that the deadline for submitting tenders related to emergency and disaster‑hit road construction projects has been extended to 3 October. The decision was taken to give contractors more time to prepare competitive bids after recent floods and landslides disrupted several key routes in the state.
Officials said the extension will help ensure that the required repairs and new constructions are completed swiftly, reducing the impact on commuters and local economies. The department will continue to evaluate the received proposals and award contracts in accordance with standard procurement guidelines.
Stakeholders, including local contractors and civil engineering firms, have welcomed the move, noting that the additional weeks will allow for better resource planning and compliance with safety standards. The PWD has urged interested parties to submit their applications before the new cut‑off date to avoid further delays in restoring the affected road network.
