The city of Dibrugarh has outlined a strategic plan to transform itself into the second capital of Assam, aiming to boost administrative presence and regional development.
Dibrugarh city officials have released a comprehensive roadmap that positions the city as a prospective second capital for the state of Assam. The plan, unveiled during a local government meeting, outlines steps to establish new administrative offices and improve infrastructure to accommodate state-level functions.
Key objectives include decentralizing government operations from the current capital, Dispur, and fostering economic growth in the eastern part of the state. The proposal calls for the construction of a new administrative complex, upgraded transport links, and enhanced public services.
The roadmap also highlights investment incentives for businesses that set up operations in Dibrugarh, aiming to create jobs and stimulate the local economy. Officials expect that the move will reduce congestion in Dispur and provide better access to government services for residents of the region.
While the proposal has received support from local leaders, it will need approval from the Assam state government and the central authorities before any concrete steps can be taken.
