"These include a new walkway, library, convention centre, circuit house, school, hostel, automated vehicle fitness centres and bridges. Brick by Brick we will build a new and Viksit Assam," CM Biswa said.

Sarma on Monday inaugurated several projects and laid foundation stones for forthcoming developments in Biswanath during his three-day visit to the districts of Biswanath and Sonitpur.

Among these initiatives, he inaugurated a newly constructed automated vehicle fitness testing station, built at a cost of Rs 11.50 crore, the first of its kind in Southeast Asia.

The facility, capable of inspecting up to 300 vehicles per day, would serve the districts of Biswanath, Lakhimpur, and Sonitpur.
