Guwahati, Feb 21 (PTI) Union Home Minister Amit Shah will attend the CRPF’s annual day parade in Guwahati on Saturday.
The parade is being held for the first time in the Northeast.
Shah is the chief guest at the parade, which will be held at the Arjun Bhogeswar Baruah Sports Complex.
He will also lay the foundation stone of the new campus of the 10th Assam Police Battalion at Kachutoli in Sonapur near the city.
The campus will be developed at Rs 260 crore on 347 acre, which was cleared of encroachments in the last two years.
