Bhutan’s King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuk visited Assam to inspect India’s first International Multimodal Logistics Park. The King arrived in Bongaigaon district and was welcomed by Assam Minister Jayanta Malla Baruah. He also visited the Inland Water Transport project on the Brahmaputra River. The logistics park aims to boost trade with neighboring countries like Bhutan and Bangladesh.
Constructed by the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd (NHIDCL), the park will seamlessly integrate road, rail, air and waterways upon completion. Spread across 317 acres on the banks of Brahmaputra, this project will unlock immense economic potential for our state by facilitating trade with neighbouring countries like Bhutan and Bangladesh. The strategic proximity of Bhutan’s visionary urban development initiative – The Gelephu Mindfulness City, will also undoubtedly contribute to the success of the MMLP.
Besides the MMLP, the King also visited the Inland Water Transport (IWT), which is under construction on the Brahmaputra River.
