Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting Assam to engage in cultural festivities and initiate significant development projects. This includes attending a traditional Bodo event and inaugurating the Kaziranga Elevated Corridor Project to enhance connectivity while protecting wildlife.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is poised to embark on a two-day visit to Assam, as he prepares to participate in key cultural and infrastructure activities. On January 17, at 6 pm, Modi will become part of a traditional Bodo cultural celebration at Guwahati's Bhogeswar Barua Sports Complex, highlighting the heritage of the Bodo community.

The following day, January 18, at 11 am, Modi will lay the foundation stone for the Kaziranga Elevated Corridor Project, valued at over Rs 6,950 crore.
