The Assam government launched a process of acquiring approximately 500 bighas (around 166 hectares) near Guwahati Airport to build a stadium for concerts and congress center, but some media media unauthorized that the Adani Group gains it.
The aim of the government is to secure the land from real investors who want to sell their land, and the residents will not be evicted, Mr. Sarma assured at a press conference.
” This step was launched by the State Government to protect the land for the inhabitants of Assam, and we plan to accept three specific projects in this area, ” said.
These include the most modern stadium to support the Assam concert economy, the Bharat Mandapam Congress Center and the entertainment zone, or the amusement park on the ranks of universal studies, but not on such a large scale, he added.
” All these projects will be fully planned and implemented by the State Government and not by any industrial house ”, he said.
Appeal to the media
He called on the media not to show the public because we have recently seen that some media houses claim that the state government passes the land of Adani or Ambani ”.
” If these industrial houses come to Assam, we welcome them with a wreath and open arms, but they don’t come here for every project, ” he added.
