Himanta Biswa Sarma announces Rs 500 crore project to turn Jagiroad into industrial hub

On August 3, a landmark event will mark the commencement of the Tata semiconductor project, which promises to transform Jagiroad into an industrial hub. The project's groundbreaking ceremony, known as "bhoomi pujan," will initiate construction work set to be completed within the next two years.

Addressing the media, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced the project, emphasizing its potential to attract international companies and improve local infrastructure. "The Tata semiconductor project, worth Rs 30,000 crore, will significantly boost Jagiroad's industrial landscape," Sarma stated.

He highlighted plans to enhance the transportation system between Guwahati and Jagiroad at a cost of Rs 500 crore, including the development of a Ring Road in Jorabat.

The Chief Minister assured that the project would not compromise the land rights of local tribals and that the social infrastructure of Jagiroad would see substantial improvements. The project will also aid in the rejuvenation of Jagiroad Paper and establish the region as a satellite city connected to Guwahati through new roads, reducing the distance between the two cities.

This significant development was announced during a visit to the Bharatiya Janata Party's party office in Jagiroad. Chief Minister Sarma was accompanied by Minister Piyush Hazarika, and MLAs Rupak Sharma, Jeetu Goswami, Shashikant Das, and Ramakant Deori.
