Assam's chief minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma, arrived in Tinsukia on Thursday to review a series of infrastructure and industrial projects slated for the district. During the visit he toured ongoing works, including road upgrades and the expansion of local industrial facilities, before proceeding to the inauguration ceremony.

He urged local entrepreneurs to leverage the availability of AAC blocks for affordable housing and commercial projects, aligning with the government's broader push for infrastructure development.
The inauguration marks a significant step in the state's effort to modernise construction practices and strengthen supply chains in the northeastern region.
