Guwahati, February 15: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday said the Centre and the state government are jointly rolling out a series of strategic infrastructure projects across Assam to strengthen national security and improve connectivity. Northeast is a strategically vital region Addressing a press conference at Lok Sewa Bhawan, Sarma underlined that the Northeast remains a sensitive and strategically vital region. He pointed out that the region is connected to the rest of India through the narrow Siliguri Corridor, a 22-km stretch often described as the Chickens Neck. Any disruption there during a conflict can impact movement and supply lines, he said, adding that multiple infrastructure layers are being developed to ensure uninterrupted connectivity. He referred to the newly operational emergency landing facility at Moran, where fighter jets and transport aircraft landed during the Prime Ministers visit on February 14. The inauguration, in the presence of the Air Chief Marshal, sent a strong signal about Indias preparedness along the China and Myanmar frontiers, Sarma said. Dual-use facilities for war and peace In modern warfare, infrastructure is the first target. If airbases are hit, alternative facilities become critical, he said. The emergency landing facility, he added, can support fighter operations in crises and also serve civilians during disasters such as floods. The state has sought more such dual-use facilities, especially in remote and flood-prone areas, to support both defence and disaster response. Recalling 1962, Sarma said there was once a perception that Assam could not be defended. We have resolved that such a situation will never arise again, he said, stressing faster mobilisation of forces and logistics. He also said a new Army base has come up in Dhubri to strengthen coverage in western Assam, where defence presence along the SiliguriHasimaraRangiya axis was earlier limited. Four new airports to boost tourism On the civil aviation front, the state will soon sign an MoU with the Ministry of Civil Aviation to develop four new airports in Majuli, Diphu, Umrangso and Manas. If land is made available, these could be operational within five years, boosting tourism and regional growth. Sarma listed several major connectivity projects approved by the Centre, including the Guwahati Ring Road, the KuruwaNarengi bridge, the Kaziranga corridor and the proposed SilcharShillongGuwahati high-speed highway. The elevated corridor from Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport to Jalukbari is also at an advanced stage and is expected to ease city-bound traffic.

Work on the Kamakhya corridor is expected to begin after clearance from the Guwahati High Court. The court had directed IIT Guwahati and the National Institute of Hydrology to conduct an environmental impact study. According to Sarma, the report found no adverse effect on the ecosystem. He said more strategic highways and logistics corridors will be announced in the coming months as part of a long-term vision to secure and transform the Northeast.

Prohibitory orders imposed along India-Bangladesh border in Assam's Cachar
SILCHAR: Prohibitory orders have been imposed along the India-Bangladesh border in Assam's Cachar district by the administration to prevent illegal movement, an official release said on Wednesday. Preventive restrictions along sensitive border areas have been imposed due to apprehension over possible movement of extremist elements and unauthorised cross-border activities to disturb peace and stability, it said. District Magistrate Mridul Yadav, exercising powers under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), issued the order on Tuesday aimed at preventing illegal movement of people, goods and activities. It has been noted that unchecked movement, particularly during night hours, could facilitate unlawful activities, including unauthorised transportation of essential commodities and cattle, thereby posing serious challenges to law and order, the order stated. Movement of individuals has been restricted from sunset to sunrise within a one-kilometre belt along the border of the district. In addition, movement on the River Surma and along its high banks within the Indian territory has been prohibited during the night. The order also places strict controls on boating and fishing activities on the Surma river. Fishing will be permitted only for local residents and for personal consumption, subject to prior authorisation by the Circle Officer, Katigorah, and compliance with lease conditions. Such permissions will be closely monitored, with copies endorsed to the District Magistrate and the Commandant of the 170th Battalion of the Border Security Force (BSF) at Dholchera, ensuring coordination between civil and security agencies. Transportation of essential commodities such as sugar, rice, wheat, edible oil and salt has been restricted during night hours within a five-kilometre belt inside the district boundary along the Bangladesh border. Any relaxation will be granted only after due verification by supply officials and for specific purposes, time and location, reinforcing transparency and accountability, the release added. State and central government employees who are on official duty in the border areas have been exempted from these restrictions to ensure that essential administrative and security functions remain uninterrupted.
