65-storey trade centre for Guwahati |
The Assam government has inked a deal with the National Building Construction Corporation (NBCC) for setting up a 65-storey twin tower trade centre in earthquake-prone Guwahati. The agreement for building the trade centre on a 32-bigha plot was made ahead of the two-day Global Investors` Summit — dubbed Advantage Assam — that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to inaugurate on Feb 3, 2018. (A bigha equals 14,400 square feet in Assam). Union Minister of State (independent charge) for Housing and Urban Affairs Hardeep Singh Puri said that this building is not just an impressive structure but it embodies the spirit of progress, aspirations of the youth and a world class design. Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal said the twin tower with in-house arrangement would boost business in the State, which aspired to be a hub of trade between India and the bloc of Southeast Asian nations in pursuance of Delhi`s Act East Policy. NBCC officials said work on the building would begin in July using green technology as well as reflecting the rich natural heritage and culture of Assam.The project has a completion period of 60 months.
