We are committed to fulfill the aspiration of all section of the society living in the BTAD areas. I assure you that BTC administration would construct the railway over bridge on MB Road in Tangla, would undertake the construction of the draige system in Kalaigaon town, will construct the long-felt bridge on river Nonoi at Tiapukhuri and the bridge on river Kalpani at Jhargaon in Kalaigaon under the proposed Rs. 1000 crores to be sanctioned by the Centre,” he assured.
