Assam Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma today dedicated the newly constructed RCC Bridge on Barama-Dhamdhama-Tamulpur Road at Jartaluk in Tamulpur district to the service of the people at a function held at Tamulpur.

The length of bridge is 193.480 metre. The bridge connects Tamulpur with Baksa district directly where there was no alternative route to connect these two districts earlier.

Speaking on the occasion, Chief Minister Dr. Sarma said that with the inauguration of the bridge the connectivity of BTR will get a new momentum.

The Chief Minister on the occasion also announced that the 26 km road from Dhamdhama to Tamulpur will be turned into a double-lane road under Asom Mala project. Dr. Sarma said that both State government and BTC have been working unrelentingly to expedite the socio-economic and academic development of BTR. He said that the construction of Rs. 600 crore Tamulpur Medical College and hospital is going on a full swing.

The Chief Minister on the occasion also announced a slew of projects like establishment of Rs. 25 crore integrated DC Office at Tamulpur, Rs.5 crore circuit house at Tamulpur and a Rs. 50 crore stadium at Tamulpur district.
