This is a much-needed project for Assam's development! The urea plant will create jobs and reduce our dependence on imports. Hope the Centre keeps its promise to expedite the work. Northeast deserves more such industrial projects. 👍

While industrial projects are welcome, I hope they conduct proper environmental impact studies. Assam's ecology is fragile. Development shouldn't come at the cost of our beautiful nature. Balance is key!

Good to see focus on medical education too. Northeast has always lacked quality healthcare infrastructure. New nursing colleges will help local youth get employment while improving health services. Win-win!

₹10,601 crore is a huge investment! Hope the funds are utilized properly without any corruption. We've seen many projects in NE get delayed due to fund mismanagement. Strict monitoring needed!

As a farmer from Punjab, I welcome more domestic urea production. We're tired of price fluctuations due to imports. Hope this plant helps stabilize fertilizer prices across India. Jai Kisan! 🚜

While projects are good, I hope they don't forget about local communities. Many industrial projects displace people without proper rehabilitation. Development should be inclusive for all sections of society.
