May 08, 2023
The proposed visit of Amit Shah to Assam on May 11 was on Monday postponed to May 26 as the Union home minister is busy dealing with the prevailing law and order situation in strife-torn Manipur, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said.
The senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader was scheduled to visit Assam on May 11 to mark the completion of two years of the Himanta Biswa Sarma government in the largest northeastern state by population.
Sarma, while addressing a press conference in Guwahati, said Shah called him up on Monday morning to inform him about the postponement.
"Accordingly, the scheduled programme of distribution of appointment letters to 45,000 selected candidates for regular government jobs will also be postponed to May 26," he said. -- PTI
