GUWAHATI, June 5: Chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma today inaugurated the permanent building of the pre-historic Dhalpur Shiva Mandir at Dhalpur in Sipajhar Revenue Circle in Darrang district today.
It may be noted that during his first visit at Dhalpur on June 7, 2021 after becoming chief minister, Sarma had promised that he would help in creating a permanent structure of the Shiva Mandir at Dhalpur which has been existing since the prehistoric days. So fulfilling his promise, the chief minister today dedicated the Mandir to the devotees.
Sarma said that visiting the Shiva Mandir at the pristine milieu of Dhalpur is a heavenly feeling for him. “I really feel blessed to have got the opportunity to inaugurate the pre-historic Shiva Mandir at Dhalpur along with a guest house and pujari griha”.
He said that for the convenience of the devotees of the state to visit the Shiva Mandir and offer their prayers, a good quality road along with three bridges will be built in the Dhalpur area. Moreover since the area is flood prone, to save Dhalpur from recurring floods an embankment will be built, he announced.
Sarma also said that the Garukhuti project in Darrang district is associated with the pride of the people of Assam. Therefore, giving the project a successful shape, the State government will do everything possible.
