Guwahati: Today, Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma shared a striking image on social media highlighting the state's rapid development, coinciding with the celebration of Independence Day in the United States.

In a post on X, the Chief Minister shared a photograph featuring the internationally known Russian rooftopping duo, Angela Nikolau and Ivan Kuznetsov, standing atop a skyscraper while unfurling a large blue banner reading, "Assam: India's Fastest Growing State." The dramatic image quickly drew widespread attention online.
