During the visit, CM Himanta Biswa Sarma conducted a comprehensive review of the ongoing road development projects and announced a commitment of Rs 27 crores for the renovation of rural roads in Kokrajhar.”
“This significant support reflects the joint efforts of the Assam Government and BTR leadership in enhancing connectivity, accelerating infrastructure development, and improving rural livelihoods,” the X post of the Govt of BTR further said.
On Monday morning, CM Sarma arrived to a warm welcome in Kokrajhar to attend a historic sitting of the state Assembly outside Guwahati. For the first time in the state’s history, Assam Legislative Assembly session is being held outside the capital city for one day. The first day of the Budget session of the Assam Legislative Assembly is being held at the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) assembly in Kokrajhar on Monday, sending a message of peace.
Buses carrying Assam ministers and the state MLAs left for the BTC assembly in Kokrajhar. The first day of the Budget session would be held at Kokrajhar. Assam Minister Pijush Hazarika said, “For the first time, under the leadership of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, we are going to hold the assembly session in Kokrajhar. 15 years ago, there was a situation that the people of Kokrajhar wanted a separate state, but now they don’t want it and they are welcoming us… This is a great initiative. It will be continued.”
Deputy Speaker of Assam Assembly, Numal Momin said that it would send a very positive message of peace in the Bodoland Territorial Region. Numal Momin said, “The message of all MLAs is that after the BJP government came, the peace prevails in BTR (Bodoland Territorial Region), which was a disturbed area earlier. We are having this budget session and the Governor’s speech in Kokrajhar today. It will carry a very good message to the people of Assam and PM Modi’s dream of ‘Sabka sath sabka vikas, sabka vishwas sabka prayaas’.”
