Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma inaugurated 67 modern school buildings and laid foundation stones for 62 more in Sonapur, involving an investment of ₹765 crore under the Rural Inter-Village Development Scheme.

On politics, Sarma announced a press conference on February 8 on broader issues beyond allegations against APCC president Gaurav Gogoi.
