CM Sarma highlights Barak Valley push, sees strong BJP support surge in Upper Assam

GUWAHATI: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday highlighted his government’s development push in the Barak Valley and expressed confidence in the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) growing support across Upper Assam.

Underscoring the importance of decentralised governance, CM Sarma said in a series of posts on the social media platform X, the state government has laid “great thrust” on the development of Barak Valley.

He noted that a dedicated department has been created for the welfare of the region, alongside steps to bring administration closer to the people.

The Chief Minister pointed to the establishment of the Assam Secretariat in Silchar as a key initiative aimed at enhancing administrative efficiency.

“This is not just a building, but represents the focus of our government to take governance closer to the people,” he said, adding that several development projects are currently underway in the Barak Valley.
