Why?

The correct answer is Nitin Gadkari : Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari virtually laid the foundation stone for the first-ever multi-modal logistic park of the country in Assam . The 700-crore rupee park at Bongaigaon district will provide direct connectivity to air, road, rail and waterways to the people of Assam and other parts of North East. It will be developed under the ambitious Bharatmala Pariyojana of the Government of India. The Assam Multi-Modal Logistics Park project is the first among 35 such MMLP projects identified for implementation across the country and the only one that will be funded completely by the central government. The fund for the multi-modal logistics park would be spent in three components - road and railway connectivity as well as building and infrastructure work.
