Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma Accelerates Infrastructure Upgrades Ahead of Durga Puja

On August 28, 2024, in Guwahati. To make sure that the upcoming Durga Puja events go smoothly and with lots of fun, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has taken strong steps to fix problems with Guwahati's infrastructure. Sarma called a very important meeting with officials from the Public Works Department (PWD) on Wednesday to keep an eye on and speed up important city projects.

The meeting, which took place at the Assam State Secretariat, showed how committed the Chief Minister is to making Guwahati's facilities better and its appearance better. As Durga Puja gets closer, the city's roads and flyovers will likely be busier with tourists and locals alike. Sarma made clear instructions to make sure the city is ready for the celebrations because he knew how important these changes were.

One of Sarma's main worries was the state of the roads and service lanes close to the flyovers that were still being built. The Chief Minister told PWD officials to make repairs to these places a top priority right away to avoid traffic problems and safety risks. "During the Durga Puja celebrations, our goal is to make things easy for both locals and visitors." The smooth flow of traffic depends on roads that are well taken care of, especially when the city is busy, Sarma stressed.

Along with fixing the roads, Sarma emphasised how important it was to make Guwahati look better. The Chief Minister said that making the city look better will not only make it more festive, but it will also make the city look better overall. "The infrastructure of Guwahati is a big part of how we show the world who we are." "Beautification projects will make sure that the city shows how lively and culturally rich Durga Puja is," Sarma said.

Sarma's instructions go beyond just fixing things up and making them look nice. The Chief Minister also talked about the current development projects, like the cycle factory project and the building of the flyovers between Noonmati and Dighalipukhuri and Down-Town. These projects are important for the long-term growth of the city, and Sarma stressed how important it is to keep a close eye on them to make sure they are finished on time.

A lot of attention has been paid to the bike factory project, which is an important part of the state's effort to promote environmentally friendly transportation. Sarma's orders to keep a close eye on the project show that the government is serious about promoting green initiatives. People hope that when the factory starts up, it will help the local business and cut down on carbon emissions.

In the same way, the Noonmati-Dighalipukhuri and Down-Town flyovers are very important for easing traffic and making it easier to get around Guwahati. Sarma's attention on these flyovers is part of the administration's larger plan to improve infrastructure and mobility in cities.

The Chief Minister's proactive approach comes at a very important time. Durga Puja is one of the most important cultural festivals in Assam, and it needs strong infrastructure support to draw big crowds. By facing these problems head-on, Sarma hopes to make sure that the festival goes off without a hitch and safely, as well as set a high bar for how cities should be run and grow.

As the celebrations for Durga Puja get near, the Assam government and PWD officials will need to work together even more to reach the Chief Minister's lofty goals. The focus on fixing up facilities and making the city look better shows a bigger goal to make Guwahati a better, more efficient, and more appealing city for tourists.

As these rules are put into action, people can expect to see real changes in the state of the roads and cities. The government's work shows that they are dedicated to both short-term holiday planning and long-term urban development, which will make Guwahati livelier and better equipped for both residents and tourists.
