GUWAHATI: The State Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday said a series of major initiatives undertaken by the state government had opened new avenues for strengthening the tourism sector.  Speaking at a press conference in Guwahati, BJP spokesperson Kalyan Gogoi said the leadership of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had accelerated Assam’s transformation into a prominent cultural destination. Gogoi said recent developments, including the granting of World Heritage Site status to the Charaideo Maidams, the construction of a grand park featuring a towering statue of Lachit Borphukan in Jorhat and the large-scale project at Batadrava Satra, were expected to reshape Assam’s tourism landscape. He added that the newly inaugurated international-standard cricket stadium at Umrangso and a modern riverside park at Uzan Bazar had further strengthened the State’s appeal.
