GUWAHATI: Assam chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal inaugurated restored heritage Sootea Police Station under Biswanath district on Monday.
The heritage Sootea Police Station in Biswanath is a testament of Assam Police’s glorious history and an icon of Independence movement, where the national flag was unfurled in 1942.
“To protect it, I had sanctioned ₹ 50 lakh last year to the Directorate of Archaeology,” CM Sonowal said in a tweet.
Along with Sonowal, ministers Keshab Mahanta, Ranjit Dutta, Tezpur MP Pallab Lochan Das, MLAs Padma Hazarika and Promod Borthakur were present at the inaugural event.
