Metro Rail in Guwahati Soon The central government has accepted an Assam government proposal for a Metro rail project in Guwahati. Central government had sanctioned an amount of Rs 25 crore for the feasibility study of the ambitious project and the preparation of a Detailed Project Report (DPR). Assam CM Tarun Gogoi said the first phase of the project will cover a distance of 65 km in Guwahati, connecting the Lokapriya Gopinath Bordoloi International (LGBI) Airport to Narengi in the city. "The second phase of the project will cover the stretch between Paltan Bazar to Khanapara area of the city, while the third will cover a stretch between Khanapara area to Jalukbari area of the city," Gogoi said, adding that the whole project was likely to cost Rs 14,000 crore. An enthusiastic Gogoi, however, said that it would take time for the completion of the project.
