The integrated sports complex is anticipated to offer world-class training and competition facilities, significantly boosting Assam's ability to host major sporting events in the future.

In a related note, Chief Minister Sarma recently stated that the state government will intensify its efforts against drug trafficking over the next five years. He urged the community to support this campaign.

He highlighted that Assam has become a transit point for heroin, methamphetamine, and Yaba tablets smuggled from Myanmar to various regions across India.

“This trend is a serious concern. Tackling major drug traffickers is particularly challenging, as the main operators often operate from abroad while using multiple intermediaries for distribution,” the Chief Minister explained.
