Giving a further push to road development in Assam, the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has sanctioned Rs 957 crore to convert the NH-37 stretch of road from Silchar to Budha Nagar, a length of 20 kilometres, into a 4-lane national highway.
The news was shared by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on his official X handle. Sarma also said that the project, once completed, will augment connectivity between Barak Valley and the States of Mizoram, Manipur, Meghalaya.
