As I have often said, we want to build an Assam that will be in a position to provide leadership in governance to other states. From Policing to Women Centric DBT, we are trying to set a path which can be used by others in our collective endeavour to build a Viksit Bharat."

The Chief Minister had praised the drastic reduction in average cases handled by every officer.
