According to authorities, Union Home Minister Amit Shah will go to Assam on Thursday for a daylong visit in order to attend three ceremonies marking the conclusion of the state’s two-year tenure of the Himanta Biswa Sarma-led BJP.
Shah will travel here in the afternoon and take part in events at the Khanapara Veterinary College field and Srimanta Sankardeva Kalakshetra.
The National Forensic Sciences University’s Guwahati campus will be established in Molong in the Changsari neighborhood of Kamrup district, and the Union Home Minister will lay the cornerstone for it.
The project’s first phase was supposed to be finished by 2026, and the second by 2030.
More than 50 undergraduate, graduate, Ph.D., and post-doctoral programs in forensic science, wildlife forensics, cyber security, narcotics, digital forensics, drone forensics, forensic psychology, and forensic justice and law will be offered at the campus, which will be built at an estimated cost of Rs 300 crore.
The Guwahati campus will also provide instruction to law enforcement, the judicial system, and forensic experts from all surrounding nations.
At the same location, Shah will also introduce the ‘Sewa Setu’ Assam police smartphone app.
With the use of the app, which was created in collaboration with the Assam Police and the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL), individuals would be able to file FIRs, report missing persons, and get tenant verifications among other things without going to the police station.
Shah will also be present for the ceremonial delivery of appointment letters to 44,703 qualifying applicants for different government agencies as part of the program’s final phase.
The visit by the Union home minister to the state on May 11 to commemorate the end of Sarma’s second term in office had been postponed because of the current law and order situation in Manipur.
