This is fantastic news for Assam's development! The aero-city project could really put us on the map. Hope they prioritize local hiring 🤞 #GrowthForAssam

While investment is welcome, I hope there's proper oversight to ensure sustainable development. The Brahmaputra ecosystem is fragile and we've seen what unchecked industrialization can do elsewhere.

₹50,000 crore is massive! If even half of these projects materialize, it could transform our state's economy. The cement plant alone could create thousands of jobs 💪

Excited about the hotel projects! More quality accommodations will boost tourism while preserving our cultural heritage. Maybe we'll finally get that 5-star property near Kamakhya Temple 🙏

I appreciate the vision, but let's not forget to ask tough questions. What's the timeline? What environmental safeguards are in place? Big promises need solid execution plans.

As a young professional from Assam, this gives me hope that I won't have to move to Bangalore or Delhi for good opportunities. More power to our state! ✨
