PM Modi’s efforts led to rapid progress of north bank of Brahmaputra: Sonowal

DIBRUGARH: The Union Minister of Ports, Shipping & Waterways and Ayush, Sarbananda Sonowal underlined the rapid progress and development of the north bank of Brahmaputra under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Union Minister was addressing as the chief guest at the 9th biennial session of All Assam Sonowal Kachari Students Union (AASKSU) on Saturday.

Speaking on the occasion, the Union Minister, Sarbananda Sonowal, said, “Under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country is progressing at a rapid speed. The most important facet of this growth story is that it is not limited to a few urban pockets but a sincere attempt has been made to ensure that the development trickles down to the interiors of the country. Modiji’s inspiring leadership has ensured that our policy framework executes strategies that are focussed on the holistic and well round development of the country. Never has there been a government that has given so much due attention for the progress and development of the north-east than that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. With the record number of visits by the Prime Minister Modi, the government machinery has been constantly revved up to deliver and bring about holistic development for the people of the region. Gone are those days when the people of the Northeast had to fight for their due rights, as under Modi, the region has taken the driver’s seat of India’s new run of progress and development.”

Highlighting the progress made by the north bank of Brahmaputra, Sarbananda Sonowal said, “The north bank of Brahmaputra, despite its tremendous potential to grow and prosper, remain neglected for decades after decades under dark age of Congress government. No sincere effort was ever taken by successive Congress governments, both at the centre and the state, to make an effort to bring in progress and development to the north bank of Brahmaputra. Under the inspiring leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the north bank is getting its due attention with efforts made to result in rapid progress and development. The work is going on a rapid pace in the construction of roads, bridges; enabling infrastructure that are pre-requisite for development of any region. This will not only ensure smooth transportation but also provide employment avenues, commercial interest and trading activities for the people of the region to benefit economically. With the eradication of middle men from the government welfare schemes, the people are already availing direct benefit of government’s welfare efforts, making a true transformation in their quality of lives. I am sure this solid foundation in the northern bank of Brahmaputra will herald a new age of progress and development for Assam and the region.”

The meeting was also graced by the Minister of Education Ranoj Pegu, Chief Electoral Member, Sonowal Kachari Autonomous Council, Tankeswar Sonowal, president, All Assam Sonowal Kachari Students Union (AASKU), Debananda Cheleng among other dignitaries.
