The CM also thanked PM Modi for his attention towards development of Northeastern states and said, "Narendra Modi has termed North East as the 'New Engine' of India's growth, putting the region at the forefront of development initiatives. I thank the PM for his heartfelt love towards the region, which was neglected for decades."

"Be it roads, railways or airways, the political will displayed by PM Modi in prioritizing the NE has no parallel in the region's history. Led by this vision, the Act East Policy will give rich dividends to NE and the nation in terms of tourism, investment and trade," CM Sonowal added.
