“This is a people-first initiative. The project will be developed in line with the needs and aspirations of the people of Assam. Located at the heart of Mumbai, this will fulfill a significant aspiration of the people of Assam to have access to essential services in Mumbai city, be it for patients, students, or even entrepreneurs,” Sonowal emphasized.
