GG News Bureau

Guwahati, 4th Nov. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma presided over a high-level meeting with district magistrates and Superintendents of Police (SPs) on Wednesday.

The goal of the one-day conference was to bring governance closer to the public through improved welfare initiatives and to strengthen collaboration between the administration and the police department.

“Had a 14-hour-long marathon meeting (from 10:30 am to 1:15 am) with DCs & SPs at AACS where we discussed various ways to bring governance closer to the public with enhanced welfare initiatives and measures required to further reform the law and order mechanism of the state,” Assam CM Biswa said in a tweet.

Sarma went on to say that he met with SPs to discuss district-level achievements in our drug war, crime reduction, better use of technology, police modernization measures, and so on.

“Our meeting took up matters related to the 400th birth anniversary celebration of Lachit Barphukan, Mission Basundhara 2.0, and more,” CM Sarma said.

Notably, the Government of Assam intends to hold the 400th birth anniversary of Ahom General Lachit Barphukan in the state capital.

The Assam government previously announced a two-day event at Vigyan Bhawan to commemorate the life of one of the great warriors of eastern India who defeated the formidable Mughals in the great Battle of Saraighat.

According to the Assam government, the government’s goal is to bring to national attention a great warrior who was previously unknown in other parts of the country.

To ensure the program’s success in the national capital on November 23 and 24, a number of events have been planned to put the great Ahom General in proper perspective.

Mission Basundhara was launched in Assam on October 2, last year, with the goal of streamlining land revenue services and making it easier for people to access land-related services. In May, the scheme came to an end.

According to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, ‘Mission Basundhara’ resolved eight lakh revenue-related applications.

“With the disposal of the last case today of Basanti Das (of North Guwahati) who had been running from pillar to post for the past 18 years for resolution of her application before the launch of this scheme, all 8,13,981 applications received under Mission Basundhara have been disposed. We all know that some land-related issues are very complex in nature and therefore not all the applications received could be resolved in this phase of the mission (Basundhara). Therefore, within the next few months, we will once again upload those unresolved cases on the Mission Basundhara portal and see if there are ways through which we can bring a conclusion to some of them, if not all, Dr Sarma said, referring to the unresolved cases under the scheme at its closure ceremony.
