Assam CM Inaugurates Much-Awaited Bridge In Dhubri
While speaking to media persons, the Chief Minister said that the bridge covering 27 kms managed to decrease the travel time by just one minute. Sarma further said that a long-standing local demand of the people of Golokganj has been finally acceded to by the ruling government.
The Chief Minister decided to travel by road instead of a helicopter to reach the site of the inauguration event in Golokganj, Dhubri due to unfavourable weather condition. He took to Twitter and said, ”The state government is building over 95 bridges across the state over various rivers.”
The Gangadhar River between Golokganj and Kanuri has been built at a cost of Rs 73.92 crore. The bridge will help expand economic operation in the area connecting Lakhimari Gaon Panchayat and Golakganj Municipal Area.
