The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
The Rs 100 crore pledge for Science City is ambitious, but previous phases stalled due to funding gaps. Some may doubt whether the state can deliver by March 2027, especially when other projects like Zubeen Khetra have seen slow work. The real test will be whether the ASTC bus service actually starts and whether the fourth phase is completed within budget and on time. Numbers and timelines, not promises, will judge this.
