The memorial also features a library designed to provide insights into the life and contributions of Gopinath Bordoloi.

The Chief Minister then arrived at Khanapara and inaugurated the mini ISBT, followed by the flagging off of 56 electric buses. 

He will continue his day with a visit to Koinadhora State Guest House 1, where he is expected to interact with journalists and eminent citizens. A cabinet meeting will be held at No. 1 State Guest House, Koinadhora at 1.30 pm.

Later, the Chief Minister will head to the Assam State Zoo in Guwahati for the foundation stone laying of a multi-crore project aimed at revamping the zoo. He will then move to Jyoti Chitraban Kahilipara for the foundation stone laying ceremony of a new auditorium.
