Guwahati-Dibrugarh & Jorhat-Delhi morning flights from Sept 20: CM
Dibrugarh: CM Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday announced that a morning flight will operate, starting from Sept 20, between Guwahati and Dibrugarh. Additionally, regular morning flights will begin along the Delhi–Jorhat and Guwahati–Silchar routes, the CM said, adding that efforts will be made to introduce evening flights as well. Responding to recent allegations by Jorhat MP Gaurav Gogoi regarding the govt's handling of the situation in Dhubri and it being orchestrated by RSS-BJP forces, Sarma strongly refuted the claims, accusing Gogoi of politicising sensitive issues. "How can a Hindu person slaughter a cow, sever the head and throw it in front of a temple? And what about the rest of the carcass? The act seems deliberately staged," the CM said, dismissing the MP's accusation. Speaking about the long-standing demand for preservation of Rupkonwar Jyoti Prasad Agarwala's ancestral home at Tamulbari, Sarma said while such initiatives become formal govt projects when taken up officially, local communities and organisations should ideally take the lead in preserving cultural heritage. "I will see what can be done from the govt's side as well," Sarma said. Regarding the functioning of Brahmaputra Cracker and Polymer Limited (BCPL), Sarma said the public sector unit was currently surviving on govt support, while running at a loss. On ensuring proper ethnic representation in autonomous councils, the CM reiterated that Matak people will vote in the Matak council and Moran people in Moran council, preserving their integrity and representation.
