Guwahati, Oct 20: Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, on Monday, announced that the foundation stone for the much-anticipated elevated corridor in Kaziranga will be laid in the next couple of months.
“After several attempts, the Centre has approved the elevated corridor in Kaziranga. We are hopeful that the foundation stone will be laid by December or January,” the Chief Minister said, during his visit to Kaziranga.
The project aims to ensure safe wildlife movement and faster connectivity, while also boosting eco-tourism and creating employment opportunities in Assam.
The elevated corridor is expected to ease traffic congestion and prevent road accidents that often endanger wild animals crossing National Highway 37, which passes through Kaziranga National Park.
