On January 18, Modi will address a public rally at Kaliabor in Nagaon district and lay the foundation stone for a 34.5-km elevated corridor from Kaliabor to Bokakhat through Kaziranga National Park, a ₹6,957-crore project aimed at improving travel time and reducing wildlife fatalities.

The Prime Minister will also flag off two new train services—Dibrugarh–Gomti and Guwahati–Rohtak—and the Kolkata–Guwahati Vande Bharat sleeper train.
