In a move to help the students, patients and tourists from Assam to visit New Delhi, Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal inaugurated the re-constructed Assam Bhawan, New Delhi on Saturday evening.

Speaking on the occasion, Assam Chief Minister Sonowal termed the day as an important day in the history of Assam.

"The Assam Bhawan in New Delhi is not just a Bhawan, it a bridge of friendship and camaraderie between Assam and National capital," said Chief Minister Sonowal, adding, "Several students, patients and people from different sections face encumbrances with food and lodging while visiting Delhi NCR for various purposes. With the inauguration of the Bhawan, these issues can be addressed to a great extent."
