Senior officials from the administration, NHIDCL representatives, and departmental stakeholders joined the discussions. The review focused on the Silchar–Badarpur–Churaibari Package-1, including land clearance at Srikona, settlement of defence estate land issues at Tarapur, and relocation of government and private institutions needed for the project’s execution.

The Panchgram and Badarpur bypass projects under Package-2 and 3 were also taken up, with emphasis on expediting the additional 3G report. Challenges at Karaikandi, tied to the Badarpur bypass, were discussed in detail.
