On November 14, in Biswanath Chariali, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma officially opened the Biswanath District Sports Complex, part of a broader initiative that includes infrastructure projects totaling ₹99 crore.

The event also marked the launch of an Integrated District Commissioner's Office, built at a cost of ₹52 crore, aimed at enhancing the administrative framework within the district.

The newly established sports complex is designed to bolster the region's sports infrastructure, offering enhanced facilities for athletes and various sporting events.

This initiative signifies a substantial investment in infrastructure development in Biswanath Chariali, with the state government prioritizing both administrative improvements and sports promotion.

In a related development, last month, Chief Minister Sarma inaugurated the Naharkatia Multi Sports Complex, further expanding the state's sports facilities.

This complex is the first of its kind in the Naharkatia Legislative Assembly Constituency, created to foster sporting activities and provide modern amenities for training, competitions, and recreational use. It features integrated facilities for football, athletics, and swimming.

The complex boasts a football pitch, an earthen running track, a 25 by 15-meter swimming pool, a covered spectator gallery, and an administrative building.

Equipped with an underground drainage and sprinkler system, the football field ensures optimal maintenance. Additional amenities include a gymnasium, dressing rooms with attached toilets, a medical room, a canteen, and administrative offices.

The swimming pool area includes spectator seating, separate changing rooms for boys and girls, and a comprehensive water filtration and circulation system.

Moreover, the facility features a VIP lounge and a conference room to facilitate its operations. Alongside this multipurpose sports complex, the Assam Cricket Association has also completed an international-standard cricket stadium in Naharkatia.
