Later in the day, the Prime Minister will lay the foundation stone of a fertiliser plant with a capacity of 12.7 lakh metric tonnes at Namrup in Dibrugarh district, a project aimed at strengthening fertiliser production and supporting agricultural growth in the region.

On Saturday, PM Modi inaugurated the New Terminal Building of Lokapriya Gopinath Bardoloi International Airport in Guwahati.

The Prime Minister also unveiled a statue of Bharat Ratna Lokapriya Gopinath Bardoloi at the entrance of the new terminal complex, paying tribute to the iconic leader and the first Chief Minister of Assam.

Addressing the gathering on the occasion, PM Modi said that Saturday marks the festival of development and progress of Assam and the North East.

He highlighted that when the light of progress reaches people, every path in life begins to touch new heights. The Prime Minister further remarked that his deep attachment to the land of Assam, the love and affection of its people, and especially the warmth and belonging of the mothers and sisters of Assam and the Northeast, continuously inspire him and strengthen the collective resolve to develop the region. He highlighted that today, once again, a new chapter is being added in Assam's development.

"Modern airport facilities and advanced connectivity infrastructure serve as gateways to new possibilities and opportunities for any state, and stand as pillars of growing confidence and trust among the people," PM Modi noted.

He remarked that when people witness the construction of magnificent highways and airports in Assam, they themselves acknowledge that true justice for Assam has finally begun.

The 'Pariksha Pe Charcha' on a Brahmaputra cruise sounds like a wonderful and relaxing idea for students! It's great to see the PM engaging with youth in such a unique way. Reducing exam stress is so important. Wishing all the students the very best!

Infrastructure development in the Northeast is finally getting the attention it deserves. For decades we felt disconnected. New airports, highways, and now a major fertiliser plant? This is the kind of tangible progress that changes lives and boosts the local economy. A step in the right direction.

While the development projects are impressive, I hope the environmental impact of the fertiliser plant on the Brahmaputra basin is thoroughly studied. Sustainable growth is key. The homage paid to historical figures and martyrs shows a respect for the region's identity, which is crucial.

Paying respects at Swahid Smarak Kshetra and unveiling a statue of Gopinath Bordoloi in the same visit bridges the past and present perfectly. It acknowledges Assam's struggle and its foundational leaders while pushing for a future of connectivity and prosperity. Jai Hind!

As someone from the Northeast, it's heartening to see the region being called a "new gateway to India's development." For too long, we were only in the news for problems. Now, the narrative is changing to progress and potential. Hope this momentum continues beyond election cycles.
