Housing and Urban Affairs and Irrigation Minister Ashok Singhal today discussed the development and beautification works of the old bungalow premises of the Commissioner of Police at Panbazar as an expanded part of the Mahabahu Brahmaputra River Heritage Centre (MBRHC). The project will be finished by March 15, 2023.

Chairman of the Guwahati Metropolitan Development Authority, Narayan Deka, as well as other top authority officials, working architects, and contractors were present at the meeting. The Guwahati Metropolitan Development Authority is carrying out the project at a budget of Rs 34 crore.
