PM Modi to inaugurate Assam’s new airport in November, confirms CM Himanta Biswa Sarma

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has announced that a brand-new airport, touted to be the most beautiful in India is nearing completion and will be inaugurated in November this year by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 

 

Alongside the airport, a six-lane road project will also be launched, further enhancing the state’s infrastructure and connectivity.

 

Speaking on the development, CM Sarma stated, “We are constructing a new airport. It will be the most beautiful airport in the country and the Prime Minister will inaugurate it in November, along with a six-lane road.”

 

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, accompanied by Agriculture Minister Atul Bora, inaugurated the newly constructed Bhagadatta Flyover-2 at Rukminigaon in Guwahati on Sunday, July 6 evening. 

The flyover, a four-lane marvel stretching 660 metres, promises to significantly ease congestion along the Dispur–Six Mile corridor, one of the city's most traffic-prone stretches.

The Rukminigaon junction, notorious for bottlenecks during peak hours, is set to witness smoother vehicular flow with the launch of this key infrastructure project.

 

Constructed in just nine months—well ahead of schedule—the ₹112 crore flyover stands as a testament to Assam’s commitment to fast-tracked urban infrastructure development. Out of the total cost, ₹88 crore was utilized for the main structural work, while the rest supported allied infrastructure and finishing components.
