Raijor Dal chief and Sivasagar MLA Akhil Gogoi on Wednesday met with Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma upon the latter’s arrival in Delhi.
The Assam CM had arrived at Assam House in Delhi yesterday where Gogoi had been staying. The two met to discuss several issues of importance, about which the Sivasagar MLA informed via a video.
Gogoi informed that talks were held over the medium of education in the state, an issue that has been embroiled in a lot of debates and discussions recently.
He said, “We discussed on the medium of education in Assam for a while. The CM put forward his view points on the matter. I was accompanied by former MP Ramen Deka during the discussions.”
The Sivasagar MLA further said, “The honourable CM today approved several long-pending matters related to the development of Sivasagar. He approved the sanction of Rs 1 crore for the survey to declare Sivasagar as a State Heritage Site. The amount will be disbursed in a few days.”
Speaking further on one of the issues that he had put forward several times in the past, Gogoi said, “The CM has today directed that state tourism department to take steps to organize a light and sound show at the famous Rang Ghar.”
“CM Sarma has given me his word that in April next year, when the new budget is presented, the Sivasagar University under Cooperative Management will be converted to a general university,” added the MLA.
He went on to further say that the medical college that had been promised for the Thowra constituency will now be jointly available to both the constituencies.
Gogoi further expressed his gratitude to CM Sarma for taking up the pending issues and providing quick resolution to them.
