PM Modi, Amit Shah to Pay Successive Visits to Assam in August

Assam is gearing up for two high-profile visits, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah scheduled to arrive in the state over the next few weeks to unveil and launch a series of landmark projects.

Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, addressing the media on Friday, confirmed that Amit Shah will land in Guwahati on August 29 to inaugurate the newly built Raj Bhavan, situated along the Brahmaputra’s banks. Later in the day, Shah will interact with newly elected panchayat presidents and secretaries from the NDA alliance during the ‘Panchayat Abhibartan’ programme.

Sarma revealed that the state is drafting plans to form cooperative committees in every block, allowing unemployed youth to take government land on lease at nominal rates for farming and allied ventures. “As the Home Minister also oversees the Cooperation Ministry, he will discuss this initiative directly with panchayat leaders,” he noted.

People of Assam eagerly await the arrival of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji on September 8 and of Hon'ble Union Home Minister Shri @AmitShah ji on August 29 to dedicate a slew of projects to the people of Assam.

Modi will then proceed to Mangaldai to lay the foundation stone of the Mangaldai Medical College before returning to Guwahati to kick off work on the Guwahati Ring Road Project and a bridge linking Narengi with Kuruwa.

Capping off the day, the Prime Minister will launch the birth centenary celebrations of Bharat Ratna Dr. Bhupen Hazarika at Khanapara. “A grand event is being planned to commemorate the legendary music icon,” Sarma said.
