Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma marked January 27 as a day of developmental milestones as he inaugurated the 30-bed model hospital in Sootea, situated under Tezpur sub-division.
Constructed at a cost of Rs 6 crore, the hospital’s foundation stone was originally laid in 2019 by then-Health Minister Himanta. The newly-inaugurated facility is poised to bolster healthcare services, catering to the holistic well-being of the local populace.
In addition to the hospital inauguration, CM Himanta also unveiled the Tezpur Government Law College, built at a budget of Rs 16 crore, located in the Chakighat locality of Tezpur under the Sonitpur district.
Looking ahead, the CM outlined ambitious plans for the State, including the establishment of 10 more law colleges and a state-of-the-art university in Gohpur, Biswanath district. Moreover, an industrial center spanning approximately 35 bighas of land is slated for development around Chakighat.
Expressing his adventurous spirit, Dr Himanta shared his desire to embark on a motorcycle journey upon the completion of key infrastructure projects, including the tunnel route from Numaligarh to Golaghat, the Kaziranga Flyover Bridge, and the Dibrugarh to Majuli road.
Continuing his dedication to education and welfare, he laid the foundation stone for the Tea Tribes and Tribal Students’ Hostel at Tyagbir Hem Barua College, Jamugurihat, with an allocated budget of Rs 88 lakh. This hostel aims to facilitate higher education for tea tribes and tribal students in the region.
