A correspondent

GOLAGHAT: As part of the ongoing efforts of the Assam Government to develop industrial infrastructure and facilitate land availability for investors, Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma undertook an inspection of the site of the erstwhile Assam Co-operative Sugar Mill located at Barua Bamungaon under the Khumtai constituency in Golaghat district on Tuesday.

Speaking to the media during the visit, Dr Sarma stated that following the conclusion of the Advantage Assam 2.0 Summit, many industrial groups had come to Assam and requested land from the state government for setting up industries. He referred to the recent approval of two industrial projects in Numaligarh and said that land allocation for these projects had already been made. He also noted that additional industrial ventures were expected in Assam, and that the state government had initiated appropriate measures to allocate land for these as well. Furthermore, he said that the government was working to prevent encroachment on government vacant land and was in the process of converting such land into industrial parks.

The Chief Minister identified the vacant land of the closed sugar mill as a key site for future industrial development. He stated that once legal and administrative issues concerning the land were resolved, it would be made available for industrial use. The approximately 500 bighas of land could potentially be developed into an industrial park, which he said would contribute to the state’s industrial capacity. He added that the government would take steps to construct a boundary wall around the site, with work scheduled to begin shortly. He also mentioned that the state had already implemented measures to safeguard vacant government land, with district commissioners instructed accordingly.

Chief Minister Dr Sarma was accompanied by MP Kamakhya Prasad Tasa, MLAs Mrinal Saikia and Biswajit Phukan, Chief Secretary Dr Ravi Kota, Deputy Commissioner of Golaghat Pulak Mahanta, and other senior officials.
