A multi-lever car parking lot at Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati was inaugurated by state Health and Finance Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday.
With a very large number of tourists coming in almost every when the temple is open, the existing car parking is not even close to handling the parking requirements of the temple. And this has been one of the biggest problems in the temple infrastructure.
Reportedly, the cost of the project has been estimated of about Rs. 30.70 crore and expected to solve all the traffic woes around the temple complex.
The inaugural program was also attended by Guwahati Lok Sabha Member of Parliament Queen Ojha and Assam Tourism Development Corporation (ATDC) chairman, Jayanta Malla Baruah.
On the occasion the Minister informed that works of the other projects are also being carries out.
“With the blessing of Ma Kamakhya, inaugurated projects worth Rs 30.70 cr at Kamakhya Temple in #Guwahati today. Among these, Multi Level Parking has been completed & several other projects are under construction. ATDC Chairman @jayanta_malla & MP @oja_queen present,” Sarma tweeted.
Last month the temple reopened the inner sanctum for the devotees after the covid induced lockdowns for fore than 6 months. Read about it here.
