During his visit, Minister Sonowal held a meeting with senior officials from the Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) at the centre. The primary focus of the meeting was to review the progress of various ongoing projects in the Northeast region.

Minister Sonowal emphasized the need for expediting these projects, directing officials to take necessary actions to ensure timely completion. He highlighted the strategic importance of these initiatives for enhancing connectivity and boosting economic growth in the region.

Furthermore, Minister Sonowal stressed on the importance of scaling up training activities at the Maritime Skill Development Centre.
