Guwahati: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate and lay the foundation stone for projects worth Rs. 11,000 crore in Guwahati, Assam. Providing world-class amenities to people visiting pilgrimage sites remains a key focus area. In a significant move towards this goal, one of the key projects is the Maa Kamakhya Divya Pariyojana (Maa Kamakhya Access Corridor), sanctioned under the Prime Minister’s Development Initiative for North Eastern Region (PM-DevINE) scheme. This initiative aims to offer world-class facilities to pilgrims visiting the Kamakhya temple.
The Prime Minister will lay the foundation stone for multiple road upgrading projects, valued at over Rs. 3400 crore. Under the South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation (SASEC) Corridor Connectivity, 43 roads, including 38 bridges, will be upgraded. Additionally, the Prime Minister will inaugurate two 4-laning projects, Dolabari to Jamuguri and Biswanath Chariali to Gohpur, enhancing connectivity to Itanagar and fostering overall economic development.
In a bid to tap into the region’s sports potential, the Prime Minister will lay the foundation stone for projects aimed at boosting sports infrastructure. These include an international standard sports stadium in Chandrapur and the upgrading of Nehru Stadium to a FIFA standard football stadium.
