Guwahati, Dec 22 (NationPress) The Chief Minister of Assam, Himanta Biswa Sarma, declared on Sunday that the state government is actively engaged in the construction of over 1,000 bridges to significantly improve the road network across Assam.
He emphasized that infrastructure development is the foremost priority for the current administration in Assam.
CM Sarma stated, “At present, the construction of more than 1,000 bridges is in progress in Assam.” He inspected one of the bridge sites in the Lakhimpur district on Sunday while launching a series of development projects.
The state government plans to organize an investor summit, Advantage Assam 2.0, in February, aimed at attracting investors from across the nation as well as international participants.
According to Chief Minister Sarma, the event, scheduled for February 24 and 25, will feature the traditional Jhumur dance performed by the tea tribe communities.
Sarma mentioned, “This summit serves as a platform to present Assam's vibrant traditions to a global audience while also enticing potential investors.”
A magnificent Jhumur dance showcase, involving more than 7,500 dancers and artists, will be a highlight of the event. This remarkable performance will feature 32 female and 32 male dancers representing each of Assam's 800+ tea gardens, as stated by the Chief Minister.
Preparations for this cultural spectacle are currently in progress.
The Chief Minister asserted, “We will ensure flawless execution through master training workshops, constituency-level sessions, district-level performances, and final rehearsals in Guwahati.”
The concert, set to take place on either day of the summit, is expected to leave a lasting impression on attendees.
This initiative follows Assam's achievement of a Guinness World Record for hosting the largest Bihu dance performance.
The objective of Advantage Assam 2.0, the second edition of this international investor summit since its launch in 2018, is to enhance infrastructure development and investment opportunities within the state.
The two-day event aims to attract investors from all over India and the globe, reinforcing Assam’s position as a promising investment hub in the country.
