Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday claimed that the state is on the growth trajectory after acheiving considerable financial stability during 2022.
It is for the first time that the state is not dependent on the Centre for payment of salaries of its employees, which has been possible due to increased oil royalty, excise, transport and GST collections, he said at an interaction with journalists here.
Of the Rs 2500 crore received from the Centre, Rs 900 crore is being used for payment of pension and the remaining for development works in the state, he said.
