The jail can accommodate 500 prisoners, 352 male and 138 female, separately. On the other hand, the district jail at Mushlapur, Baksa, was constructed for Rs 53.86 crore and has a capacity for 500 inmates, including standard administrative and inmate facilities.
Speaking at the inaugural function held at Kajolgaon in Chirang, Chief Minister Sarma said that Chirang, though a full-fledged district, somehow lacks necessary infrastructural facilities.”
However, as a result of joint initiatives by the state government and the BTC administration, the district is being empowered with much-needed infrastructure facilities. Within a very short time, construction work for the Chirang district stadium will get underway,” the CM said.
He also said that the Upendra Nath Brahma garden being built in Chirang with a financial outlay of Rs 8 crore, once completed, will increase the beauty of Chirang.
He said that the Gelephu Mindfulness City in Bhutan has created several possibilities in Chirang.
Considering this development, the State government has undertaken several development works to empower the Chirang district socially and economically. The new road project will facilitate smooth movement from Chirang to Gelephu, and the rail line from Gelephu to Kokrajhar will touch Chirang, which will definitely expedite the economic development of the district,” he said.
