01 Jun 2023 CW Team

According to Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari, a multi-modal logistics centre that will soon be built in Jogighopa, Assam, will "change the game for the Northeast." "There is the Brahmaputra. There will be a railway, a national highway system, and an airport. Within two to three months, it will be finished, according to Gadkari.

A significant component of the ambitious Bharatmala Pariyojana is the development of the logistics park. It will facilitate transit by road, rail, air, and water because it is situated along the Brahmaputra River.

The 300-acre Multi-Modal Logistics Park in Jogighopa, which is close to the Inland Waterways Terminal that is still under construction, will cost $7.640 billion to build. It may be strategically connected to Bhutan in the north and Bangladesh in the south through roads and waterways thanks to its location 154 kilometres to the west of Guwahati.
