Assam CM Opens Rs 122 Crore Jorhat Projects and Pledges Riverfront and Museum Plans

Overview

• Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma inaugurated four infrastructure projects worth about Rs 122.20 crore on Sunday, including the new Integrated District Commissioner’s office at Cinnamara and the 545-metre Cinnamara railway overbridge.
• The Cinnamara integrated complex was built for Rs 49.22 crore and will house the deputy commissioner, sub-registrar, treasury, food and civil supplies, and election offices while providing a 150-seat auditorium, a 60-seat conference hall, National Informatics Centre facilities, solar space and parking.
