GOHPUR: Minister of Water Resources, Information, Public Relations etc. and Spokesperson of Assam Government Pijush Hazarika on Monday visited Gohpur and attended various programmes.
The minister first inaugurated the protection works of Chakrang river which had been creating flood in the Gohpur town for a long period. The scheme at a cost of 1500 lakhs is expected to safeguard the Gohpur town from flood. Speaking in the inauguration programme, the minister said that under the able leadership of Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma, the State government is working day and night to keep the promises made to the people. On the other hand, the minister also said that the Water Resources department had already started various works for a flood free State as promised by him during his first visit to various sites as Water Resources Minister in May-June this year.
Later the minister attended a programme in Chaiduar College where he inaugurated the Project Super 50, an initiative of the local MLA Utpal Borah along with local administration to train 50 candidates applying to get job in Assam Police. Speaking at the occasion the minister said that earlier, in Assam there were political patronage and corruption in the government job sector for which many deserving candidates did not get government job. But unlike that time the present government is quite strict in the matter and now in Assam, talented and deserving people only get selected for government job.
At the same time the minister also appealed the new generation not to completely depend on government job, but rather asked them to become self-dependent by taking some economic initiatives. In the afternoon, the minister attended a program to unveil the statue of popular Tea Community leader, late Daniel Topno and offered his tribute to the leader. The minister was accompanied by MLA of Gohpur Constituency, Utpal Borah, Deputy Commissioner and Superintendent of Police of Biswanath district, officials from Water Resources Dept. among others, stated a press release.
