Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Tuesday that there is “unanimous confidence” incompleting the section of the Jorhat-Dibrugarh National Highway by December 31 of this year. The Assam CM met with Krishnan Kumar, the Managing Director of National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited, in Delhi earlier on Monday to discuss the completion of the highway.
“Pursuant to my discussion yesterday in Delhi with Dr. Krishan Kumar, Managing Director of @nhidcl, I am happy to share that there is unanimous confidence in completing the Jorhat-Dibrugarh section of the National Highway by 31st December,” CM Sarma wrote in a post on X.
“This marks yet another promise made to the people that will be fulfilled well before the elections,” his post added. Around 95 pc of the four-lane Highway project from Kaliabor to Numaligarh, which included the Kaziranga National Park (KNP), has been completed, with just certain sections of the road being left.
