“PM Gati-Shakti Will Boost Connectivity & Lead To Rapid Infra Growth”: CM Sarma

Guwahati: Assam government has set up a 3-Tier institutional framework with an Empowered Group of Secretaries at the top with chief secretary as chairman and senior most secretaries of state government departments as members to oversee the successful implementation of PM Gati Shakti in the state.

The CM said this while attending the North East Zonal Conference for PM Gati-Shakti Master Plan for multi modal connectivity in the presence of union minister of petroleum & natural gas Hardeep Singh Puri, which was held at Guwahati on Monday.

He informed PM Modi that the state government has also set up a Network Planning Group comprising senior officers from the different departments, dealing with planning and networking for infrastructure development projects.

The government has further constituted a Technical Support Unit with technical persons for active collaboration with BISAG-N to develop the Master Plan, he said.

Underlining the lack of coordination among the stakeholders in the traditional ways of completing projects, the Prime Minister said that this was due to lack of clear information among the various concerned departments.

Sarma further informed that the government has also initiated capacity building and training programme for the concerned professionals and officials to ensure that initiatives of the state government under PM Gati Shakti do translate into tangible actions on the ground.

He also viewed that the North East Zonal Conference will significantly help in preparation of the State Master Plan and developing the implementation framework.
