The country cannot function by simply delaying projects; it thrives on action and a fast pace of work. Delay is the enemy of development, and we are determined to overcome this challenge.
The foundation stone for Assam's Bogibeel Bridge was laid by former Prime Minister Devegowda ji in 1997, and the work was initiated under Vajpayee's government. However, when the Congress Party came to power, the project was halted.
The people of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam faced difficulties, but the government at that time showed little concern.
In 2014, when we were allowed to serve, the project was restarted. Remarkably, we completed the bridge in just four years, by 2018.
