Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced a post‑Puja assessment of ongoing development projects in the Barak Valley region of Assam.
Assam's Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said a comprehensive review of all infrastructure and development schemes in the Barak Valley will be undertaken after the Durga Puja festivities conclude. The decision, announced during a press briefing in Guwahati, aims to evaluate progress, address bottlenecks, and ensure timely completion of projects ranging from road upgrades to water supply improvements.
The CM emphasized that the post‑Puja review will involve senior officials from the state planning department, local district administrators, and representatives of the Barak Valley community. Findings will be compiled into a report to be presented to the state cabinet within a month.
Stakeholders welcomed the move, noting that a focused assessment could accelerate stalled works and better align resources with the region's needs. The review is expected to cover projects under both state and central schemes, with particular attention to flood‑prone areas and connectivity corridors.
The announcement comes as the state government seeks to balance cultural celebrations with continued development momentum, reinforcing its commitment to inclusive growth across Assam's diverse regions.
