Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma stated during a visit to the former Deputy Commissioner’s (DC) house on Tuesday that the city has taken its first step toward realising his objective since he was appointed minister of development in 2003.
The CM was deciding on the places for the Brahmaputra’s beautifying projects today.
He was accompanied by representatives of the Guwahati Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) on his visit.
Speaking there, CM Sarma mentioned that there will be no buildings on the stretch starting from the Sukreswar temple to the Chief Justice Residence.
