Union Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to arrive in Assam on Sunday night for a two-day visit to inaugurate multiple projects and address a public meeting, officials said on Saturday.
After arriving, Shah will stay at the state guest house in Koinadhara. On Monday, he will pay homage to martyrs of the Assam movement against infiltrators at the newly constructed ‘Swahid Smarak Kshetra’ before proceeding to Batadrava Than in Nagaon district, the birthplace of Vaishnav saint Srimanta Sankardeva, where he will inaugurate the redevelopment project of the spiritual site. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said the site has been restored and freed from encroachments. “Batadrava Than, freed from encroachments, is now a shining example of what steely resolve can do for the protection of our heritage,” Sarma had said.

Shah will then return to Guwahati to inaugurate the new building of the Guwahati Police Commissionerate and an Integrated Command and Control System (ICCS), which will monitor over 2,000 CCTV cameras to strengthen city security and emergency response systems. Sarma described it as “a major boost to Guwahati’s safety.”
On the same day, Shah will also inaugurate the Jyoti Bishnu Cultural Complex, a 5,000-seat auditorium in Guwahati, and address a public rally there before departing for New Delhi.
