Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced a Rs 100 crore upgrade for Science City in Sonapur, targeting completion by March 2027. The Assam Tribune reports that new facilities including a digital panorama, convention centre, parking and a musical fountain will be added. Sarma said the fourth phase, earlier stalled by lack of funds, will now be finished. He also urged the Assam State Transport Corporation to run a dedicated bus service from Guwahati. Sarma later reviewed Zubeen Khetra, where he said the boundary wall will be done by October-November, followed by a museum and open-air theatre. He described Science City as both educational and engaging for students and the public.
