NEW DELHI : Union Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to arrive in Assam on the night of December 28 for a two-day visit during which he will inaugurate a series of major infrastructure and cultural projects in Guwahati and Nagaon, besides addressing a public gathering, officials said on Saturday.

After landing in Guwahati, Shah will stay overnight at the state guest house in Koinadhana. On December 29, he will pay homage at the newly constructed Swahid Smarak Kshetra, a memorial dedicated to the martyrs of the Assam Movement against infiltration.

The Home Minister will then travel to Batadrava Than in Nagaon district, the birthplace of Vaishnav saint Srimanta Sankardeva, where he will inaugurate the redevelopment project of the historic religious site. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has earlier said the state government restored the sanctity and grandeur of Batadrava Than after removing encroachments, describing the project as a symbol of the government’s resolve to protect Assam’s cultural heritage.

Later in the day, Shah will return to Guwahati to inaugurate the new building of the Guwahati Police Commissionerate along with an Integrated Command and Control System (ICCS), aimed at strengthening the city’s law enforcement and surveillance capabilities. The ICCS will integrate and monitor more than 2,000 CCTV cameras across the city to improve real-time monitoring and emergency response.

In a post on X, Chief Minister Sarma said the inauguration of the Police Commissionerate and ICCS would mark a significant boost to public safety and urban security in Guwahati.

The Home Minister is also scheduled to inaugurate the Jyoti Bishnu Cultural Complex, a newly built auditorium in Guwahati with a seating capacity of 5,000. Shah will address a public rally at the venue before concluding his visit and returning to New Delhi.
