Guwahati, 06 November (HS). Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma has clarified that no tree will be cut in connection with the flyover under construction from Noonmati to Dighlipukhuri in Guwahati. While talking to the media, the Chief Minister, who arrived last night to inspect the construction work of the flyover, said that he had initially ordered the Public Works Department not to cut any tree in connection with the construction of the flyover. However, the Chief Minister also said that it is the rule of the Government of India that instead of cutting one tree, 10 new ones will have to be planted. But, no tree will be cut in the construction of this overbridge.

The Chief Minister said that some changes have been made in this flyover project. Coming from Noonmati, the flower will end in front of Ravindra Bhawan/District Library in Dighlipukhuri. Both its arms will be big or small.

It is noteworthy that many people are protesting against the possibility of cutting trees in Ujan Bazar area in connection with the construction of this flyover. Well-known singer Zubeen Garg also sat on strike on Monday regarding this issue. The Gauhati High Court has also sought a response from the government in this matter. The Chief Minister said that no matter how many obstacles arise in its construction work, its construction work will be completed by 2026.
