September 16, Monday: Assam is set to become a crucial trade gateway with the development of the Multi-Modal Logistics Park (MMLP), a significant infrastructure project aimed at enhancing connectivity and boosting the region’s economic potential. Officials have stated that the MMLP will position Assam as a key hub for trade, facilitating seamless transportation of goods between the Northeast and other parts of India, as well as international markets.
The logistics park, located in Jogighopa, is a part of the government’s larger initiative to improve the region’s logistics and trade infrastructure. It will integrate multiple modes of transport, including road, rail, and waterways, to create a streamlined system for the movement of goods. This is expected to significantly reduce transportation costs and improve supply chain efficiency.

The project is also expected to provide a major economic boost to the region by attracting investments, generating employment opportunities, and improving Assam’s overall infrastructure. Additionally, it will enable the export of local goods such as tea, textiles, and handicrafts to international markets, further enhancing the state’s economic prospects.
