The Assam Cabinet has taken a significant step by approving the tabling of the Tiwari Commission Report on the 1983 Nellie Massacre in the upcoming Assembly session. The move comes as families affected by one of Assam’s darkest chapters await justice and closure, and it is expected to spark important debates in the state legislature.
Alongside this, the Cabinet also focused on development and welfare. The cost of the 500 TPD Methanol and 200 TPD Formalin project of Assam Petrochemicals Ltd has been revised to ₹2,267.22 crore, showing the government’s push to strengthen industrial growth in the state.
On the social side, 224 land allotment proposals under Mission Basundhara 2.0 for indigenous landless families were approved, ensuring long-overdue land rights for vulnerable communities. Meanwhile, 12,000 contractual teachers under the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan now have the chance to apply for regularisation following amendments to the Assam Elementary and Secondary Schools Teachers’ (Regulation of Posting and Transfer) Bill, 2025.
