Guwahati: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will arrive in Assam on Sept 8 to inaugurate the birth centenary celebrations of music maestro and Bharat Ratna awardee Bhupen Hazarika. Prior to that, he will inaugurate a Rs 4,200 crore bio-ethanol plant in Golaghat and the Guwahati Ring Road project in Mangaldai, which has a project cost exceeding Rs 5,700 crore. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now During a press conference, chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced this on Friday. He said the Prime Minister will first arrive at Numaligarh Refinery Limited (NRL) in Golaghat district and dedicate the bio-ethanol plant to the nation. Developed as a joint venture between NRL and Finnish partners, the facility is India's first bamboo-based bio-ethanol refinery. It is designed to process up to 3,00,000 metric tonnes of bamboo annually to produce 49,000 metric tonnes of ethanol. Following a successful trial run in Dec 2024, the plant is expected to begin commercial production by mid-2025. The project is expected to benefit around 30,000 rural households and marks a significant milestone in India's green energy and biofuel sector. The Prime Minister will also inaugurate the construction of the much-anticipated Guwahati Ring Road in Mangaldai, the CM added. The project includes building a major bypass, widening key stretches of NH-27, and constructing a bridge over the Brahmaputra river to connect Narengi in Guwahati with Kuruwa in Darrang district. The 121-km project, aimed at decongesting city traffic and improving connectivity across Assam, was awarded to Infracon Pvt Ltd by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) in April. The concession period is 30 years, including four years for construction, with completion expected by Dec 2027. Later in the day, the PM will arrive in Guwahati to inaugurate the birth centenary celebrations of legendary musician Bhupen Hazarika, the CM said. "The state govt has made meticulous plans to celebrate the occasion in a befitting manner. A total of 1,000 singers — from senior artists to the youngest performers — will present a musical medley of a few of Bhupen Hazarika's most famous songs. Several programmes have also been planned as part of the yearlong celebration," the CM added. To honour Hazarika's legacy, the state govt will also release a special biography and a commemorative coin.
