Congress Member of Parliament Gaurav Gogoi has urged Union Minister Nitin Gadkari to accelerate the construction work on the National Highway (NH) 715A in Jorhat, Assam. Gogoi emphasised the project's importance in enhancing connectivity and economic development in the region.

NH 715A, a crucial highway project connecting Jorhat to other parts of Assam, plays a pivotal role in improving transportation infrastructure and facilitating smoother travel for local residents and businesses. Gogoi highlighted the project's delayed progress and urged Gadkari to prioritise its completion to benefit the people of Jorhat and nearby areas.

The highway project is expected to bolster regional connectivity, spur economic growth, and alleviate transportation challenges faced by commuters. Gogoi emphasised the project's potential to enhance trade and commerce, uplift rural communities, and foster overall socio-economic development in the region.

Gogoi's appeal to Gadkari underscores the importance of timely infrastructure development in supporting regional growth and addressing connectivity gaps. He emphasised the need for expeditious action to ensure that the NH 715A project is completed efficiently, benefiting both residents and businesses reliant on improved road infrastructure.

The completion of NH 715A is anticipated to enhance accessibility, reduce travel time, and promote tourism and industrial development in Jorhat and adjoining areas. Gogoi's advocacy reflects the pressing need for infrastructure investments to drive inclusive growth and development across Assam.
