On the transportation front, the cabinet gave the green light to transfer 8 bighas of government land to the Northeast Frontier Railways for constructing a doubling railway line between Azara and Kamakhya, which is expected to boost regional railway capacity and create employment opportunities for local youth.
To address pay scale anomalies for Computer Grade-II, Grade-I, and Head Computer under the Directorate of Land Records & Surveys, the cabinet approved a proposal for their correction.
Lastly, in an effort to reduce student dropouts at the secondary level, the cabinet approved the procurement of bicycles for Class IX students in government provincial schools for the academic year 2024-25, encouraging regular attendance.
