The Gohpur-Numaligarh underwater tunnel project is a major infrastructure development project in Assam. The tunnel will be the first of its kind in the state, and it is expected to have a significant impact on the region's economy and connectivity.
The tunnel will connect the two banks of the Brahmaputra River, which is a major transportation bottleneck in Assam. Currently, the only way to cross the river is by ferry or bridge, which can be time-consuming and unreliable, especially during the monsoon season. The tunnel will provide a reliable and efficient alternative, and it is expected to reduce travel times and improve connectivity between the two banks of the river.
