Assam Governor Lakshman Prasad Acharya on Thursday attended the inaugural programme of the redeveloped Haibargaon Railway Station in Nagaon district as Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually inaugurated the railway station. This event stands out as a landmark in the national rollout of the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme (ABSS), as Haibargaon becomes the first railway station in Assam, among 50 stations identified in the state, inaugurated under this ambitious scheme.
The inauguration is part of a nationwide event covering 103 redeveloped stations, where Haibargaon’s inclusion, constructed at a project cost of approximately Rs. 15.85 crore, signals the beginning of a new chapter for rail infrastructure in the region. Unlike other inaugurations, this day carries special significance as it showcases the PM’s unwavering focus on transforming grassroots infrastructure and bridging regional gaps through modern connectivity.
The redevelopment of Haibargaon station is symbol not only of technological and architectural upliftment but also of government’s intent to bring Northeast India nto the fold of rapid national development.
