The Cachar District Unit of the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) recently honored national-level table tennis player Dibija Pal with a felicitation ceremony and financial assistance. Rajya Sabha MP and AITC National Spokesperson Sushmita Dev expressed her support for the athlete, emphasizing the need to back aspiring sportspersons. This gesture highlights AITC Assam’s commitment to fostering sports development and nurturing talent in Barak Valley.
In a significant boost to regional connectivity, the Central Government has assigned the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd. (NHIDCL) the task of upgrading the Silchar-Jiribam road at an estimated cost of Rs 733 crore. This project aims to enhance road infrastructure in Barak Valley and facilitate smoother transportation to Manipur.
According to NHIDCL sources, an international competitive bidding process was initiated for the four-laning of a 13.09 km stretch of NH-37, extending from Silchar (near Budha Nagar) to Jiribam. The project falls under NH (Original)-NE and will be executed under the Hybrid Annuity Mode (HAM) on a Design, Build, Operate, and Transfer (DBOT Annuity) basis.
Barak Bolchhe!
