Shri Gadkari said in a social media post these imitative aims are to establish direct road connectivity between Jorhat and Majuli, addressing the absence of such a link currently. He said presently residents rely on river ferries across the Brahmaputra during daylight hours, posing safety concerns, especially during periods of high flooding.
Shri Gadkari said the development of approach roads and the Majuli bridge will ensure continuous connectivity, significantly improving the socio-economic conditions of the local population and promoting tourism. This strategic infrastructure investment is poised to reduce travel time and vehicle operating costs for road users, he added.
