GUWAHATI: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has said that the Emergency Landing Facility (ELF) at Moran in Dibrugarh district has emerged as a symbol of confidence and transformation in Upper Assam, and will be inaugurated during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the state on February 14.
Addressing the media on Thursday, CM Sarma said the ELF reflects how infrastructure development in the region has progressed rapidly in recent years.
"There was a time when people here faced severe problems. Roads used to remain submerged in mud and water for days. Today, the same land is capable of facilitating the landing of fighter jets, " the Chief Minister added, taking an apparent jibe at the previous Congress governments in the state.
