Implementation of the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY), a vital rural development programme in the country, in Meghalaya has been tardy, according to an official assessment here on Wednesday.

Besides Meghalaya, 12 other states - Assam, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland in North East, Jammu and Kashmir, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand, Bihar, Orissa, West Bengal and Chhattisgarh - are not doing well in this programme.

"In all these states, the ministry feels that the performance so far is a cause of concern," the assessment said.
