The Assam cabinet approved three more flyovers in Guwahati on Tuesday. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced this at a press conference held in Silchar following the cabinet meeting, which was held for the first time in Barak Valley.
The new flyovers will be built in front of the Down Town Hospital, as well as at Kumarpara and Fatasil Ambari.
The chief minister stated that the DPR for the flyovers will be prepared and will take one year to complete.
For the first time in the state’s history, CM Himanta Biswa Sarma convened a special cabinet meeting in Silchar.
On February 19, 2021, the Assam government announced the establishment of a Mini Secretariat in Silchar for three districts in the Barak Valley in order to bring the government to the people’s doorstep.
This is, however, the first time a state cabinet meeting has been held in Silchar, the main town of Barak Valley.
