Glad to lay the foundation stone for construction of Maligaon flyover in Guwahati, along with Shri @himantabiswa, Shri @BiswajitDaimar5 & other dignitaries.” The Chief Minister requested the people of Maligaon area to patiently wait for the completion of the flyover as they will have to go through a little hardship during the construction period.
