Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Assam for a two-day trip over the weekend. On Saturday evening, he will attend a grand traditional Bodo cultural event at Sarusajai Stadium in Guwahati. The event will feature the ‘Bagurumba Dohou 2026’, showcasing the cultural heritage of the Bodo community with over 10,000 artists performing the iconic Bagurumba dance.
During the cultural program, artists from 81 Assembly constituencies across 23 districts of Assam will participate, making it a significant cultural display in the state. The Bagurumba dance, a symbolic representation of nature, is a revered folk dance of the Bodo community, embodying themes of harmony, peace, and fertility through its movements inspired by nature.
On Sunday morning, the Prime Minister will conduct the Bhoomi Pujan for the Kaziranga Elevated Corridor Project in Kaliabor. This ambitious infrastructure initiative, valued at over ₹6,950 crore, aims to enhance connectivity and reduce human-animal conflicts in the region. The project includes a 35-km elevated wildlife corridor through Kaziranga National Park, along with other highway enhancements to benefit the local communities.
In addition to the infrastructure project, Prime Minister Modi will inaugurate two new Amrit Bharat Express trains during the visit. These new train services, the Guwahati (Kamakhya) – Rohtak and Dibrugarh–Lucknow (Gomti Nagar) routes, will strengthen rail connectivity between Northeast and northern India, facilitating smoother travel and trade links.
