Bridge to Be Named After Bhupen Hazarika: Modi
Speaking after the inauguration of the Dhola-Sadiya bridge, PM Modi said that the bridge will be named after “son of the soil” and music legend Bhupen Hazarika. He said the people of Assam would’ve had access to the bridge “10 years back” had it not been for the change in government.
He further spoke about connecting the Northeastern region with the rest of the country via infrastructural facilities that include railways and roads.
“Arunachal Pradesh and Assam have been connected by a bridge that will save them 6-7 hours of travel time. Diesel worth Rs 10 lakh will now be saved everyday. Just this facility will open many opportunities of development in the states...Northeast can also be turned into a tourist hub,” he said.
