Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma distributed 439 appointment letters to candidates across various government departments during a ceremony in Guwahati. The new appointments cover sectors including Labour Welfare, Public Health Engineering, Water Resources, and the Assam Co-operative Apex Bank Ltd.

This latest round of hiring brings the total number of government appointments made during the current administration's tenure to 165,749. The Chief Minister noted that the state is working toward a pledge to provide 200,000 government jobs.

During the event, Sarma highlighted the recovery of the Assam Co-operative Apex Bank, noting that 175 positions were filled at the institution.
