Guwahati, Nov 24 (IANS) Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday said Assam is continuously strengthening its internal security framework with major investments in police infrastructure as part of a broader effort to ensure safe communities across the state.
The Chief Minister also highlighted the ongoing efforts of the government and said that while others only make promises, Assam is focusing on real, visible progress at the grassroots level.
Sharing on social media platform X, the Chief Minister said the state is building strong police infrastructure to ensure safe communities, underlining that development in the law and order sector remains a key priority for the government.
The Chief Minister said that currently 16 new police housing projects and five modern commando battalions are being developed in different parts of Assam.
He said the new housing projects are aimed at improving living conditions for police personnel and their families, ensuring better morale and operational readiness.
He said that at the same time, the formation of modern commando battalions reflects the government’s emphasis on tackling the threats of organized crime, extremism and other security challenges through highly trained and well-equipped forces.
Sarma said, “These initiatives are not just about buildings or facilities; they are about creating an ecosystem where our police force can function more efficiently and effectively. With modern stations, better equipment and advanced training, we are providing security and peace to the people of the state.”
He further said that strong police infrastructure plays an important role in strengthening public confidence, preventing criminal activities and ensuring quick response in emergencies.
He claimed that over the past few years, the state government has taken several steps to modernize police stations, upgrade forensic capabilities, expand surveillance networks and improve mobility with new vehicles and technology-driven surveillance systems.
“Security analysts believe that such investments in physical infrastructure along with capacity building and technological upgrades have a long-term impact on maintaining stability and improving law and order,” he said.
The Chief Minister said the move is also seen as a support mechanism for police personnel who often work in challenging and high-risk environments.
He said that the Government of Assam has reiterated that it is committed to pursuing these projects at a rapid pace with a focus on transparency, efficiency and community safety.
“With the latest developments, the state is preparing itself to meet future security needs with greater preparedness and flexibility,” the Chief Minister claimed.
