At a meeting with Naidu, Sonowal requested the minister to include various cities of the state in urban missions such as Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) and Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban). “Assam CM Shri @sarbanandsonwal met me. Discussed abt flood situation in Assam, inclusion of cities under AMRUT, PMAY (sic),” Naidu said in a tweet.
Stating that some towns of Assam have been included under PMAY (Urban) in the state, he asked the Chief Minister to send the proposals for these towns at the earliest, according to a release.
