The CM made this announcement while visiting the Pandu region and the new Pandu - Kamakhya road of the city in the morning. A large number of houses were gutted in the region in a fire yesterday. He visited the region and gave a compensation of Rs 25000 to each of the families effected by the fire and assured them GI roofing sheets for the reconstruction of their houses. Himanta Biswa Sarma also visited the newly constructed road that connects Kamakhya Temple to the Pandu Port and noted some discapncies on the road that may cause problems for visitors. He announced that three new bridges will be created in a phased manner to remove these problems as suggested by the IIT Guwahati. One of these bridges will be over the Brahmaputra river. The whole project might need another year to be completed, but once done, it will decrease the travel time from the Guwahati Airport to the Kamakhya temple to a mere 15 minutes, said the chief minister. Another project that the government plans to undertake is a walkway connecting the main temple of Kamakhya and the parking for easier access by specially-abled visitors and mentioned that discussions are of with the temple management regarding the same.
