DIBRUGARH ( By Anil Poddar )- Ahom Rule is a glorious chapter of Assam history, said the Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma today, who took part and performed bhumi pujan for Rang Ghar beautification project at a programme held at Sivasagar. It may be noted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation of the project on 14 April, 2023.

Speaking on the occasion, Chief Minister Dr. Sarma said that Rang Ghar is Asia’s oldest surviving amphitheatre which lies at the heart of Assam’s culture and civilization. He said that the 600 year old Ahom Rule was a glorious era of Assam. Rangpur occupies an important place of this era. He said that Swargadeo Rudra Singha established the capital at Rangpur and since then the architecture of Assam took a new form.

He also said that the Doul Pukhuri dug under the stewardship of Swargadeo Rudra Singha added a new dimension to the glory of Rangpur. By constructing Rang Ghar, Swargadeo Rudra Singha added a new chapter not only to architecture but also the art, culture and sports of Assam.

Therefore, giving a new look to this architectural beauty, was need of the hour, as the government took the suggestions from public representatives and senior citizens in beautifying this glorious architecture. The Chief Minister said that the project being implemented involving a financial outlay of Rs. 140 crore will be completed and dedicated to the people before 2026.

Chief Minister Dr. Sarma reiterating his government’s commitment to the development of Sivasagar said that a series of steps have been undertaken for the socio- cultural and academic development of the district. He said that Sivasagar College has been upgraded to a University, and very soon the institution will start functioning as a full- fledged university.
