Union Cabinet Secretary K.M. Chandrasekhar arrived at Guwahati on Friday afternoon on a two-day visit of the north-eastern region. He will review the progress of major infrastructure projects at a high-level meeting at Guwahati on Saturday. Top officials from all the north-eastern states, including Assam will take part in the meeting. The Cabinet Secretary will also take stock of implementation of mega projects including the national projects of the Railways, the East-West Corridor project besides the issues pertaining to the shortage of food grains and petroleum products, and implementation of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act , among others. The visit of the Cabinet Secretary assumes significance following complaints by several State Governments of the region over inordinate delays in execution of several vital projects including the Silchar-Lumding broad gauge conversion that would eventually connect Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura. The project is part of the overall plan to connect Bangladesh and Myanmar. Some of the other national projects including the Bogibeel bridge may also come up for discussion.
