Saikia Urges Assam CM to Review Co-District Policy

In a letter to the Chief Minister, Saikia criticized the BJP government’s creation of co-districts, stating it could lead to the closure of 160 revenue circle offices and 223 ICDS centers. He urged a review of the decision, citing concerns over increased travel time, service delays, and public grievances. Saikia highlighted that previous governments expanded districts for administrative ease, unlike the current policy that risks reducing public services.
