Assam CM Announces Defence Park to Boost Arms Production Near Eastern Frontiers

The Assam government has unveiled plans for a Defence Park that will focus on arms manufacturing near the state's eastern frontiers. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced the initiative, emphasizing its strategic importance for national security. The park is expected to serve as a hub for defence production, reducing dependence on distant manufacturing units. By bringing production closer to the frontiers, the project aims to enhance rapid response capabilities and support local industries. The initiative is part of Assam's broader effort to boost defence infrastructure in the northeastern region.
