Later, the minister accompanied by a four-member team, comprising his media advisor Hrushikesh Goswani, had a meeting with district collector Samarth Verma and discussed conservation of both the properties.
“We discussed the steps to be taken to protect and preserve the heritage property. Government of Odisha and Government of Assam will start a joint venture, regarding the same, after the Assamese delegation meets the Chief Minister tomorrow,” Verma informed.
