The Assam government has announced a plan to develop a 6,000-bigha defence park in Morigaon district, a move intended to strengthen the state’s defence manufacturing base.
The proposed park will occupy a vast area of 6,000 bighas, roughly 1,200 hectares, in the Morigaon region, which is strategically located near major transport corridors.
