Mallabaruah said speaking to ANI. The Brahmaputra riverfront was inaugurated by the Union Home Minister Amit Shah on January 20, 2024. The riverfront located on the south bank of the Brahmaputra River is a six-kilometer-long stretch between Rajbhawan to the famous Kamakhaya temple. Work is currently underway on the development of a walkway, cycle track, and jogging track. Other infrastructure works including viewpoints, fountains, jetties, and ferry terminals are also underway . The project is an iconic element in defining Guwahati's identity and aims to turn the city's riverfront into a high spirited place with recreational activities for people from all age groups. (ANI)
