CM Sarma said, “PM Narendra Modi will lay foundation for the Sualkuchi-Palasbari Bridge over the Brahmaputra.”

The major project to connect Sualkuchi to Palasbari in Assam by a bridge over the Brahmaputra river will be built at an estimated cost of around Rs 4,000 crores.

Meanwhile, Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman had given the approval for the proposed project of the Assam government.
