NPP MLA Mehtab Sangma questioned CM Conrad Sangma on delays in 2022-approved livestock education projects, prompting a pledge to accelerate the veterinary college's construction.

In a rare parliamentary moment, NPP MLA Mehtab Chandee A Sangma questioned her husband, Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma, during Meghalaya’s Assembly session on February 26, 2026, over delays in establishing livestock education projects approved in 2022, including a veterinary college, two fishery colleges, and a dairy college. She cited stalled progress and staffing shortages in existing training centers. The chief minister acknowledged the challenges, attributing delays to land identification and planning issues, and confirmed that 800 acres at Kyrdemkulai have been earmarked for the veterinary college, estimated at Rs 334 crore. He pledged to accelerate implementation despite financial and logistical hurdles. The exchange, notable for being a public policy debate between a married political couple, underscored ongoing challenges in advancing key agricultural education initiatives.
