Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has asked all ministers to strengthen their engagement with Members of the Legislative Assembly during official visits and programmes in their constituencies.
In a communication dated October 30, 2026, he stressed the importance of informing local MLAs in advance about ministerial visits and inviting them to participate in public programmes and official functions.
He noted that even when MLAs are not required to attend departmental meetings or review programmes, keeping them informed would reflect mutual responsibility toward public welfare.
Sarma said that greater coordination between ministers and MLAs would enrich governance and facilitate more effective implementation of developmental initiatives.
He added that encouraging participation in official engagements would foster a culture of collective effort and a common commitment to public welfare.
Why It Matters
The directive aims to improve collaboration between state ministers and elected representatives, potentially leading to more responsive and effective governance in Assam. By ensuring MLAs are informed and involved, the state seeks to align ministerial actions with local priorities, which could influence development outcomes that affect citizens across India and may serve as a model for intergovernmental cooperation in other states.
