Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi's two-day visit to Dibrugarh district was filled with series of development projects. The 'improvement and strengthening' of Moran-Naharkatia PWD road, to cost Rs 56 crore, and the construction of Saraighat Bridge over river Burhidehing under Lahoal development block at a cost of Rs 21 crore were the two most ambitious projects among others that were initiated by the Chief Minister during his visit. Gogoi laid the foundation stone for the improvement and strengthening of the Moran-Naharkatia PWD road during a foundation stone laying ceremony organised at the Bamunbari High School playground in Tingkhong LAC today. The slender PWD road extending from Moran town to Naharkatia town within the district measures to 56.665 kilometre.
