He also addressed the persistent delays and complications surrounding the tender process for the highway’s crucial stretch from Jorhat to Jhanji and onward to Dibrugarh in Assam.
“The tender process for this section of NH 37 has been initiated and cancelled three times to date,” Gogoi said.
“I am sceptical whether the ongoing fourth round of the process will yield a positive outcome.”
