In a significant development for Guwahati, the Brahmaputra Riverfront Development Project is rapidly progressing. Spearheaded by Guwahati Smart City Limited, the initiative aims to enhance the city's scenic beauty and amplify its tourism potential, with completion anticipated this year.

Assam's Housing and Urban Affairs Minister, Jayanta Mallabaruah, has expressed optimism regarding the project's completion by April.
