Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Assam on February 14, where he is set to inaugurate and flag off development projects worth over Rs 5,450 crore, aimed at strengthening connectivity, digital infrastructure, higher education and urban mobility in the North-Eastern Region.

According to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), around 10:30 AM, the PM will land at the Emergency Landing Facility (ELF) on Moran Bypass in Dibrugarh, where he will witness the Aerial Display of Fighters, Transports and Helicopters.

At around 1 PM, the Prime Minister will inspect the newly built Kumar Bhaskar Varma Setu across the River Brahmaputra. Later, at approximately 1:30 PM, he will inaugurate and flag off development projects valued at over Rs 5,450 crore at Lachit Ghat in Guwahati.

The Emergency Landing Facility (ELF) is the first of its kind in Northeast India. It has been designed and constructed in coordination with the Indian Air Force to support the landing and takeoff of military and civilian aircraft during emergencies. It will serve as a critical asset for emergency response, enabling quick deployment of rescue and relief operations during natural disasters or strategic requirements in the Northeast. Envisioned as dual-use infrastructure, the ELF is capable of handling fighter aircraft up to 40 tonnes and transport aircraft up to 74 tonnes maximum take-off weight.

The Prime Minister will also inaugurate the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Guwahati, which will provide a major boost to higher and management education in the North-Eastern Region.

Finally, PM Modi will also flag off 225 electric buses under the PM-eBus Sewa Scheme in Guwahati (100), Nagpur (50), Bhavnagar (50), and Chandigarh (25). With the launch of e-bus operations under the PM-eBus Sewa Scheme in these four cities, more than 50 lakh citizens are expected to benefit from access to clean, affordable, and reliable public transport services, thereby improving urban mobility and enhancing quality of life.

While the development projects sound good, I hope the focus remains on actual ground-level implementation. We've seen many announcements in the past. The electric buses in Guwahati are a welcome step for reducing pollution. Let's see if they run on time and are maintained properly.

The Emergency Landing Facility is a strategic masterstroke for the Northeast. It's high time we had such infrastructure in a region prone to natural disasters. Connecting it to the IAF makes perfect sense. Jai Hind!

Interesting to see the scale of political mobilization. 86,000 booth workers is an enormous organizational effort. The dual-use of the ELF for both military and civilian emergency response is a smart, efficient use of infrastructure.

As a student from Guwahati, I'm most excited about the IIM! This will open so many opportunities for youth in the Northeast without having to travel thousands of kilometers. Hope the focus on education continues. 🤞

The bridge over the Brahmaputra and the e-buses will directly impact daily life. Traffic in Guwahati is a nightmare. Any improvement in connectivity and public transport is a blessing. Hope the 'Sankalp' translates to 'Siddhi' (resolution to achievement).
